Incredibly helpful. Got my replacement arm on and off in minutes. Thank you.

Great video! One little step suggested - I would double check that the resting position of the wiper tip does not land on the paint work that eventually would scratch the paint. The masking tape is a great step, but the arm might need to be positioned one spline to the left to safe guard the paint finish. (due to a little slack in the motor drive mechanism) Thanks for taking the time to make this valuable instruction video, very helpful!

Thanks for your helpful video. My 2016 Prius recently had its rear wiper ripped off in a commercial car wash. Using your video, I was able to make repairs myself, likely saving a lot of money over what the dealer would have charged. [Stockton, CA]

I used the penetrant and tried to use an expensive puller, but the puller just broke the plastic. I finally took a small hacksaw and sliced the plastic away from the bushing, then used the puller to get the arm off. I bought an after market arm and blade. The blade, though an inch shorter, is easily replaceable unlike the OEM. Good video, thanks!

Thank you for the thorough and detailed instructional video. Changed out the wiper arm following the exact procedure and it worked like a charm. Much Appreciated.

Thanks man! I didn't think you needed a puller to get it off i was working on wrapping a transit van I used some channel locks and got it but thanks for letting me know I just needed more pressure!

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Would not have thought of the tape!

Thanks - my arm was ripped off in the assembly-line car wash but they found the arm and spring. Freezing at 3:50 helped me identify how to reattach the spring to the two other parts of the arm assembly in situ.

The puller tool was the thing. Napa guy let me borrow his, and it worked! Thank you so much for the tute!

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

Thanks🍺I replaced our Ford rear wiper arm by myself successfully.

[crushmash]

Yes, I did it. No problem however, had one problem. I put the wiper blade on the left-hand side when I put it back on and now I have to pop it up again.
My fault I was in a rush

I got a puller tool, it doesnt seem to want to budge. Even with the pb blaster. How long did you have to use the puller thing for it to come off?

[devinmcdonald]

This was helpful, thank you. It took some serious effort though because it was corroded on there.

[msparky]

Thanks for the video, of using a pulley as mine was corroded too, ordered mine from amazon and a new arm / blade all for £20 . it would of cost me 52.00 just for the arm from Halfords.

Let’s be clear. PB blaster only does its job on YouTube!

What the pulling tools name you are using to get off

[Summergold]

Many thanks. Some some stool my rear wiper only left the nut. Peugeot quoted me £100. Always worth you tube ing before getting work done professionally. Easy when you know how.

[spsjason]

I bent the arms on that tool trying to get mine off. It didn't work
