Default Wiper Arm Removal -- Anyone here have tips on how to remove the wiper blade arm from the motor...

...shaft? I've removed the cap and the retaining bolt, but I just couldn't get the arm off the motor shaft.

Any info you can provide will be helpful. TIA

Default It can be a bitch of a job. Better use lots of loose nut fluid and let it soak in for a while...

Then wiggle it side to side with a gentle twist. What ever you do, don't lean against the windshield to try to get some leverage, you could easily crack the windshield. Even the dealers with their special puller tool to remove the wiper arms have been known to crack a windshield once in a while.
