Wiper arm removal

What bolts are you referring to? The wiper arms are held to the pivots with nuts. They have a tapered seat that mates to the taper on the pivot and once tightened down they stick on the pivot. The arms need to be popped off of the taper. Sometimes you can do it by hand, other times a pry tool is needed.

 

Yes, that was the right way to do it. A small gear puller also works. If you pry it off, you can damage the wiper motor bearings or shaft.

 

Use a special small tool or carefully lift the arm with two pliers ... Wiper arms fit onto a splined shaft ..... don't do it this way with only one ...

But: WHY take them off at all Mike ?
