hey guys,
my windshield wiper pivots are faded and the paint is flaking off. i wanted to take them off and glassbead them then repaint. i was wondering if you guys could tell me how. once i pop the cap off the there is one 14 mm bolt which i have loosened and then i try to pull the pivot arm off and it doesn't wanan come off at all. is there a trick i am missing. my pivot arms looks terrible i don't know why they are so faded and cracked up. look at this pic. that silver on the windshield is what i am talking about thanks guys

Thats all there is to it, take the 14mm nut off and a little bit of wiggling and pull straight out and it should come off. Watch out though since there are little teeth that you dont want to strip.

 

Imagestation is a POS isn't it?

 

ok maybe i need to wiggle some more and spray some wd40 or something/ there on there pretty tight

 

I'm gonna be doing the same thing soon so I also need to know just in case. BUMP

 

tried again today doesn't just wiggle free, is there a tool needed or am i missing a bold or something?

 

car looks nice... i like it

 

whose car? my car or are you talking about that stupid evo and g35

 

bump bump bump

 

u have to lift the wipers to itz upward position and it'll come right off.

 

No special tool is needed. You just need to push down on the flexible section of the wiper arm(in the middle) to make the part that goes over the bolt even to pull up on it.
I repainted mine but I think my enamel is too glossy. I think they would have looked good just primed.

thanks for the info man
