Is there a knack to removing the front wiper arms?

[shokenore]

I want pictures or this is all a dream.

Pictures of my flaring block? Or me popping one off?

Undo the nut a couple of turns, grab a pair of water pump pliers and put one jaw under the arm and the other on top of the nut and squeeze.
Liberal amounts of plus gas will assist.

Update: Job done!

Using my home-made puller, WD40 and patience...they finally came off. Refurb ones on and ready to go.

And Andy...thanks for sorting me some nuts Got a normal one doing the job at the moment.

Thanks for all the input guys

I'll look like a right knacker taking pics of windscreen wipers...but will for the lads!

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

The ones I removed and that inspired the need to clean up.

Other side was worse...but photo is too blurry.

Staring at the rust, every time I drove, ####ed me off.



Pretty normal and expected end rust.



The ones I got from Andy were not as bad (had sound bodies)...but still needed the works. While I was doing them the above stayed on the truck doing their job.

Finished result. Underwhelming...but they are just wipers Lots of Summer dust but no Winter rust



Back one was shocking. Nearly bought a new one but I've just enough paint to make the effort. Off now to pop on the clear coat. Wish I've taken a before pic.

Nicely done chap.
Those rear ones seem to dissolve really badly...

I am totally in awe...and Sylux still wears frillies.
