wiper arm removal

[MadScientist]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to remove the exterior wiper arms from my 70-500?  Dumb question, but I dont want to break anything or scratch paint!

Thanks

This tool works pretty good.  http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=1129

i'm thinking that the bottom hinges up and there is a nut that is removed and then use the above tool, or something close, to remove the arm.

I use a forked tool similar to the claw on a hammer that slides around the pivot. Use a screwdriver to push the clip on the arm out of the way and pull up with the tool. I have also done it with flat head screwdrivers to pry up, but that chips the paint up.

Is it specific to mopars or is the tool something you could find at a general auto supply house?

You may be able to find the tool at a local auto parts store.

Took the old school route. I used a diaper under the arm then used 2 screwdrivers to pry it off. Came off without a hitch!

Thanks for the help!

I think the diaper is more "Pre-School" than Old School.

Well it was a cotton diaper and not a diposable (old school in a way....) 

Gimme a break, Ive got a 10 week old
