You saved me a great deal Mr puberty! Pulled dash off to change the heater core to realize I was stuck on the windshield arm without a store in a 30 mile radius to buy a puller. TY
Press down a few times on the joint. Lift the arm up at the joint, grab the wiper where the spline goes through it. Wiggle back in fourth (from the upper part above the joint) while pulling upon the wiper arm(down at the bolt. You dont need a puller or any of those tools for that. I worked for Safelite for 3 1/2 years and for this style I've never needed anything. Other styles absolutely such as a 60's ford stlye.
You can do it by hand by pushing the spot that raises the wipers up or you can grab it and do a push down pull up motion. That’s how we do it when taking the cowling off for windshields anyways.
@@markfromtinder9616 most certainly can, the wipers with two arms, most commonly on Mercedes, is actually easier. I guess because of how poorly they’re made they do break pretty easy but that’s if you don’t know what you’re doing.
I was just about to exit out of the video thinking this was gonna be a dumb “life hack” that would likely screw up the vehicle but when my boy said “but being extremely poor I don’t own that tool” I knew from that moment forward… this guy is the real F-ing deal this guy is gonna know what he’s doing…then when his voice began cracking it really just drove it home for me. 👊👊👊
You don't need any tools. Just lift the arm up (it locks in the down position) and wiggle the arm from side to side at th base. It may not break free at first, but it will. It's only crud stopping it from coming off.
Thank you so much! Great life hack! It’s raining buckets where I am. So you saved me some cuss words! lol Do you live in Virginia? Funny how you say “on.” Nice but tell me where you grew up? Thanks again McGiver would be proud to have you as a son! lol
I am sorry to hear that, did you spray it at all with wd-40 or pb blaster? Maybe it's getting caught up. Also don't get it on the windsheild. Good luck
@@mayson2 hey thanks for replying. I ended up buying a wiper arm puller and it was really worth the $15. It made all the difference and I just got done replacing the motor and linkage 👍
I'm sorry to hear that, I've never had that happen and I've been fairly hard on them before, I know that it's good to work it off equally because if you only pry on one end it kind of just wedges itself
A plus for voice cracks

Glad to hear!
Mayson you have a good sense of humor a very likable quality.
“ Being extremely poor. “ I’m subscribing just for that. You’re my spirit animal.

This worked like a charm! Thank you for taking the time to write that up.
Instructions unclear, standing here with half of the wiperarm in my hand..😂
You just saved me thank u so much
I love you so much for this!!
I am also a poor person without all the tools
Also, with the nut removed. You can apply an up and down movement over and over with your hands, working it loose.
loved your honesty.
You the man !!! Thanks a lot for the tip
Often there isn't much Clarence to get something that chubby under.
I had to build a custom puller once for a VW. PITA🤘
Possible but many new cars for fuel economy the arms are tucked deep into the trim and scuttle panel

Wrong. You cannot do this on German vehicles

Not a bad idea! Good job!
Morty helped alot
You’re the man ! Worked like a Charm
Absolute life saver
Great tip! Thank you!
Thank you! Worked beautifully with channel locks 👌
Awesome man!
Thanks! had to pull the arms off to put some lights on my Jeep. Didn't really want to drive over to Autozone to get a tool :)
thank you so much you saved a lot of time for me

Absolutely
2024 still helping out thanks man
Legend, thx man!
Thank you. It did work on my rear wiper
Glad to hear!
Thank you so damn much❤️❤️❤️
Lol you're welcome
Thank you!!
Thanks for this. I used a different tool, because I'm extremely poor and don't own that wrench you have, I used just the idea, and it worked.
@@jcabrerard4851 you are an inspiration
Good tip my friend. Thank you.
This totally saved me today when trying to get to a fuse box 😅
I ducking love you dude
Good job bro!
Being broke is the mother of ingenuity
Thanks
This helped a lot!!
Good!
Thank you I will try this rn on my dads 06 Saab 9-3 because they seem to have the same wiper assemblys and stuff
Wait it actually worked😂 thanks man
@ZanderAudio glad to hear dude
Thank you. Now I'll never forget. I'm serious.
Just to pull out the arm😰
I had a similar situation. I used penetrating lubricant. Thanks for the video.
Awesome trick it fuggin worked
Glad to hear
Thank you bro! 😎🇺🇦also used my hands shaking arms and used WD-40 as well as hammer 🔨
Well thanks Mr. Guy!
You're welcome hope it worked

Thanks alot for sharing....it worked
Glad to hear
Just push down on the pivot point where the arm bends.
No
The Ram didn't work for me. I'm gonna try this. Thank you sir
Good luck
Smart! I would also suggest using a good penetrating oil. 👍
A battery post puller is cheap and works. Can't do this if it goes through glass.
Yes you can! I just did it on rear wiper. Thanks for the tip!
Bruh I’ll vote for u to be president😂😂
Look out for my campaign
I can’t wait to see someone break the glass 😂😂
Best method , worked best for me at least, 24 jeep wrangler
Good to hear!
Make sure the wrench doesnt rest on your windshield. Or might need a new one
I break my Mazda CX-5 rear windshield by using this method 😢
That sucks
3 days attempting to remove mine SOB THANK YOU
You're welcome!
@@mayson2 btw it worked beautifully no damage or effort just little lifted on the wrench and POP it’s off.
Thank you so much!
Great life hack!
It’s raining buckets where I am. So you saved me some cuss words!
lol
Do you live in Virginia?
Funny how you say “on.” Nice but tell me where you grew up?
Thanks again
McGiver would be proud to have you as a son! lol
Western Maryland, glad it helped you!
Like a giant bottle cap opener. I used a channel lock with adjustable jaws to remove it. I'm poor too. :(
It works 🎉
Awesome!
Yip brill6worked a treat
Say it with your chest 😂😂😂
I beat the shxt out of mines 😂 got it off tho 🎉
Just pull up on the blade yo, never had any trouble with wiper arms
I wish it was that easy on old vehicles that have never had them taken off, maybe its different for other brands
The tool is like $6
Well that didn't work
I am sorry to hear that, did you spray it at all with wd-40 or pb blaster? Maybe it's getting caught up. Also don't get it on the windsheild. Good luck

@@baldbearded9601 awesome good to hear
Yep it came off, now threads are destroyed so it's not going back on easy.

Ffs......
Bs Didn't work
