I pulled the cap off and unscrewed the bolt. And the dang thing will not budge. Is there some kind of trick to it? Please help
thanks

 

Try twisting & wigglying, while lifting. It WILL come off.

 

I tried that the damn thing wont budge. it actually pulls the metal up as well. is there another bolt or something I'm missing?

 

i figure a picture is worth a thousand words

 

well, I guess I just have to keep tugging on it. I swear the damn thing is stuck on there pretty dang well.

alphred where did u get that picture at?

 

Getting a bit more specific, lift the rear most part of the arm, it's spring loaded, then try twisting, while lifting. Good luck!

 

the rear most part, meaning up where th wiper is or where hte bolt is? Also min has a spring in it, but you cant pull it up like you can the front wipers

 

yeah, eat your wheaties and pull harder. pic came from the service manual.

 

I made a makeshift puller like a gear puller out of two pieces of metal about 4 inches long, bent on both ends 90 degrees about an inch with a hole drilled in one of the bent sides on both pieces. then put a bolt with a nut on the inside of the metal brackets, put the ends under the wiper arm carefully, put a wrench on the
nut while turning the bolt onto the wiper stud and it should come off easy.

 

dont take it off....its kinda funny that im reading this thread right now...cause this morn i needed the wiper to get the condensation off the car

ull end up needing it sooner or later

 

my car sits in the garage. I'm not worried about it.

 

where in cincy are you? ive seen only one other PPW around - parks behind the Greyhound station downtown sometimes.

 

I live in blue ash. I have only seen one other ppw in cincy.
I put up a post in the regions forum about a cincy meet check it out

 

what sux about the wiper is that... it barely lifts when you are washing your car...

 

I still cant get the damn thing off!

 

Try some WD40.

 

YOU HAVE TO SCREW IT OFF, spin it around as you slightly lift up on it, it spins around about 1080 degrees and will come off, only 5-6 threads are holding it on. Oh, an go counter clockwise.

DO NOT JUST PULL UP!

I have actually done this.....

 

I tried to unscrew it to it would just start to bend wen I went to push it. I'm convinced mine is not coming off.

 

Jran76,

Did you ever come up with a different plug for the hole?

 

This is what I did...The homemade puller I made..
