- Lift the front wiper arm to its over-center position to hold the wiper blade from the glass and relieve the spring tension on the wiper arm to pivot shaft connection.
- Use a slight rocking action to disengage the front wiper arm pivot end from the pivot shaft and remove the wiper arm.CAUTION:
The use of a battery terminal puller when removing the front wiper arm is NOT recommended except as a last resort, as this may damage the front wiper arm.
- If the rocking action failed to free the wiper arm from the pivot shaft, use a suitable battery terminal puller (3) to disengage the wiper arm (1) from the pivot shaft (2).
- Remove the wiper arm pivot end from the pivot shaft.
