How to take windshield wipers off?

If you look at the base of the wiper !! There is a little button like /lever you press and wala it comes off!!! May take a little persuation!!!

Oh, thanks, I thought that's what it was, but I wanted to make sure.

I already have my hood/hinged/grill assembly/fan shroud and a few other things off. I've been working for an hour...

Where do you get it? Adv Auto? NAPA? AutoZone?

I just got one from Napa auto parts, it was about 12.00.

Hopefully yours won't be as bad as mine were to remove. I had to cut mine off with a die-grinder. They were rusted on that bad! Remember to shoot some WD-40 in there and let it penetrate really good before you start prying.

PB blaster works better than WD-40 ;)

I don't remember any "button" being on the wiper arms of these trucks. On the '88-up, yeah. That's the reason you need the tool. Yes, NAPA has them, or they can order them.

there is a small clip/button that needs to be pressed to release it. need atleast a flat head screw driver to pry it up. use a shop rag to help prevent damage to the cowl

Re: How to take windshield wipers off?
 

Reckon that's why I bought the tool....my ability to contort my body with my poor near vision as an aggravation factor makes using the tool a no-brainer for me. With my documented brain damage (stroke), I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the clarification. Maybe, I'll go out and look for the button on the wipers that I have already removed.

I need to find my WD40 and buy some weasel piss.

Re: How to take windshield wipers off?
 

??? OK, you got me. I understand the WD-40, but weasel piss?

Weasel piss is PB blaster. My uncle buys a brand and they call it weasel piss. I like the name.

Re: How to take windshield wipers off?
 

LOL oh ok. :lol: I'm gonna have to remember that one.

I have a tool similar to the pic I posted above, and it has a cork pad on the bottom to protect the cowl. A little more protection is not a bad idea, though...

Re: How to take windshield wipers off?
 

If it isn`t froze on,all you do is raise the wiper off the windshiels as far as you can and pull up on the oppositeend of the cup that sits on the shaft and it`s off.I don`t use any tool at all.A rag and a screwdriver for tougher ones.I`d like to have a special tool now that I know they`re made.

^^ I did 'em that way before I found the tool -- pretty sure it cost me less than $8. :D
