Is there a trick to removing the wiper arms?
I've removed the 16mm nut no prob. But after that, I have no luck in pulling or prying off the wiper arm from the threaded shaft. I don't want to damage the wipe tie arms underneath. How do you remove these pups? Any cautions? Secondly, do you think repainting them is not a good project (paint will wear quickly), and maybe I should just buy new ones? Are new ones expensive? Thanks guys! |

I changed mine for the same reason, i bought new ones for the driver/passenger/rear window. They are around $30-$40 each arm. For me that was well worth replacing, instea of painting them and then they might look uneven, not match etc.
The trick i found to take them off was to make the arm bend and then wiggle etc. You could try some water or lub maybe? |

After removing that nut, all you need to do is pull on the wiper arm to loosen it. I found it easiest to use both hands, and move it up (as if you were manually "wiping" the windshield). After you break it loose, then it should pull right out.
