How do you take off the windshield wipers

[DriftMonkey]

question says it all....i took off the 14mm nut off and i supposed that it would just pop off but not the case.....i could not get it off no matter what i tried.....i even put liquid wrench to loosen it up but to no avail...... the only reason i want to take them off is so that i can repaint them cuz they are faded and look like crap... o well

They don't just come off you have to yank them bitchez off. Then you can sand them prime them and paint them. Which I suggest you do considering the paint does not stick to polished aluminum very well or maybe I was just using shitty a$$ paint. humph! who knows? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Back to Black works great if they still have paint, but if that's gone, you can't get around repainting them. &nbsp;I'd actually suggest you just paint the arms while they're on the car. &nbsp;Take the blades off... tape the areas around the arms you don't want painted, and then tape down some newspaper or a thick drop cloth over the rest of the car that might have paint blow on it.

This is what dealerships do for their used cars.

i was actually considering this because they r becoming a royal pain in the ass so i think i will try this...thanx for the info....

hey if you haven't already done what Yosho said , one last resort to getting them off is to kinda push down on the arm itself while lifting up on the part thats attached to the motor?or whatever it is , because you have to relieve the tension that the "spring" action from the blades causes..good luck either way you do it , lol
