How To Remove Rear Wiper Arm
- #i
I am having bug with my rear wiper motor, and I am trying to take the motor apart from the machine and first pace is to remove wiper arm, so I removed the nut from the wiper shaft, simply I am non able to remove the wiper arm.
I sprayed lubricant 3 in one, I applied oestrus, pulled information technology, but no luck, it remains in place and have not moved 0.001".
Is there a fob to remove it??
I did a search and read the posts, but in that location is no explanation:

Thank you for the reply, but I already tried prying using 2 screwdrivers, by prying up on the underside, about to the wiper arm post, merely arm did not become off.

Raise the arm near ninety degrees to be parallel with the shaft, so use that leverage to lightly (not much pressure) rock the arm side to side. You won't need much more than than a few ounces of pressure in either direction in order to eventually 'walk' the arm off the shaft. I've been able to costless the arm from the taper every time in nigh 20 seconds.

Thank you for the answers, finally I removed the wiper arm using Lug_Nut and Compu_85 method. Shaft tip has a conic shape and I was able to complimentary it by moving the arm side to side.

I have the little windshield wiper puller. It is like the ball joint puller only much smaller. Information technology hooks around the dorsum of the wiper then you crank down pushing on the bolt. Information technology pops right off.

Every bit a tool they suck, just yous tin use a battery last puller.
They are unremarkably cheaply made poor quality, but it should piece of work.
The other thing, is I don't think it's rust, information technology'due south more like silicon carbide.
You have to "rock" the short role of the arm on the shaft. The end is tapered, so rocking information technology is the best style, since you are actually breaking up that hard_ss SC. It'll be like a white dust, when is finally comes apart.
Information technology'south way harder to explain, than information technology is to do. But if you watch windshield replacement guys, it's what they practice. Mayhap YT has a video?

Trust me: I had watched a couple videos and remembered to what the guy who replaced my windshield did (admitting on my 2022 automobile). That sucker was not budging.
I was curious about the rust-buster given that information technology'south an aluminum-steel corrosion that's built upwards.
With all that said, I did manage to get it off late last night after posting. I destroyed the plastic knob on the top of the wiper-puller tool (this one):
trying to creepo it down. And as it peeled off in my hand, it revealed a big deep slot - like for a big flat-head screwdriver.
So, I knew I could get much torque with just a screwdriver, and so I dug out my hand impact driver
put the big slotted bit on it - 5-half dozen pretty solid whacks with the hammer (fearful of breaking the glass, yep, but these are the things we practise around midnight when tired and frustrated af ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). And, I wasn't putting any directly touch on on the glass itself, the tool was basically just putting force/impact directly to the shaft (or at least, that'south how I rationalized it. 
)
After each couple of whacks, I tried hitting on the curt arm again, and finally noticed a bit of jerk. Non about the POP that I got with the other one, as I still had to pry with a little tool a bit to remove information technology from the shaft. Merely off it did come.
