ok, i'm stumped! (& afraid of cracking windshield) is there a trick to get drivers side wiper arm off so i can change wiper motor? looks like should unbolt & pull up but not wanting to come off & no where to put pry tool-looks like could possibly use small jawpuller on pass side if stuck, but hoods in the way (up or down) on drivers side?!? anybody know any tricks? maybe soak with pb blaster overnight? -thanks

Re: wiper motor delima
your best bet is with the hood down, crawl up onto the hood/windshield, center yourself over the wiper arm and wiggle/pull the crap out of it. Do a lot of side to side wiggling, then up and down. you don't want to use a tool that will crack your windshield and one of those wiper arm pullers won't work (at least the one i bought didn't) just wiggle the piss out of it and eventually it will just POP right off. make sure you are pulling straight up. -
Re: wiper motor delima
I just did my motor, having to remove the driver's wiper. Seriously, it's just on there tight as hell. Just keep wiggling the crap out of it. And just when you think it should come off, wiggle some more. and when you are about to give up, keep wiggling. Then and only then, POP, off it comes.
