- In this video I show the limitations of a wiper arm puller tool and prove how much easier a pitman arm puller tool is for the same job. If this video helped you out be sure to like, share and subscribe! Thanks for watching.

Just watched your new video, I've been busy with work and home the last few weeks and what I like about getting a tool like this is that I can use it for more than one job. Thank you for posting and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you.
used that small one recently and it worked a treat for same wiper
Thanks for posting this
Excellent presentation and thanks for the tip 👏🏻👍🙏
This is a life saver 🙌🏾
Our '19 Chrysler Pacifica driver side wiper arm started acting all out of wack. It falls behind, not moving along with the passenger side one..
Does that mean the wiper arm spindle ridges could be worn out and I have to replace it or just the nut is lose?
Gary, when you look at the top of the big screw, you can an Allen Key instead of a wrench ( video 2:30 ) ... check it out !
Just get a wiper arm puller that has adjustable width 'fingers'. There's quite a few of those available online.
i bought that little one yesterday for my 2000 F150 and it does not fit just like you showed.
Just get a wiper arm puller with an adjustable arm width. There's lots of those available online.
thanks for info, BUT doesn't work on chevy avalanche or trucks.
The small, cheap, pronged puller, did not have enough power to pull off E36 BMW wiper arms. The teeth at the bottom both broke off, leaving a useless chunk of metal. I found a puller of your successful type, though a little smaller, that told that wiper arm to come loose in seconds after days of frustration from the cheap pronged puller.
Looks like the bearing pullers we use at work.
because that's what it is really
Will that work on all wipers or did that tool just happen to fit your wipers??
That tool will work on various vehicles that have thicker wiper arms. I've used in on numerous different makes and models throughout the years. With that being said, I keep an actual wiper arm puller and the tool shown in the video in my tool box just in case.

I have a faucet handle puller that might work. Will be trying that today! Thank you for the info, very helpful.
I appreciate this video--but I have the OPPOSITE problem. The original tool you show is too bulky to fit down in the cowl around the wiper arm. 😶
Potential for damage using the Pitman arm puller due to width and the video clearly shows that it barely grabs the wiper arm.
Most likely the wiper arm would've worked had he tried to center it from the end, which he obviously didn't try in the video, instead of the side.
I could be mistaken, but I doubt it.
Do you watch a lot of crime documentaries and over think/analyze everything? 🤪 The standard wiper arm puller tool for sale at most auto part stores doesn't work for every application, including this vehicle and many others hence this vid. No matter what tool you use you risk damaging the wiper arm or wiper linkage since you're forcing the two apart.
It's better to keep on the stud, otherwise you can damage the threads (break it loose but don't take it all the way off)
Good tip! Thanks
That one you said doesn't work is actually a battery terminal puller NOT a wiper arm puller and neither one of them work for me there's no nuts on my wiper arms it's a closed cap all metal
!
yes, the pitman is definitely stronger, but it often doesn't fit under the wiper due to its dimensions, so the weaker one is better
Awesome, but how to reinstall?! 🫤
Depends on vehicle but for the most part you just need to decide on alignment, place arm back on stud, screw nut on and then tighten down. Heres the vid for removal and install on this particular vehicle: czcams.com/video/t5Py0mNixwM/video.html
