i am installing a 3 point strut tower brace and i need to remove the wiper arms to remove the plastic cover over the windshield. i removed the pastic cover and removed the nut that holds the arm on... and the wiper are does not move freely. is there a special tool to release the wiper are from the stud? i dont want to break something while removing the wiper arm.

 

they do make a puller, but any way that you can pry up on the base of the arm by aplying pressure to the stud (not windshield obviously) will pop em off

 

so there is no release on the wiper arm? i wouldnt think the arm has such a tight fit on the stud. ill give it a try this weekend.

 

I used a heavy duty battery terminal puller on mine. I thought they were never gonna come off.
