Hello everbody, I've been a member for several months but this is my first communication.

87' vert, auto

Trying to take off the windshield wiper arms. According to the GM shop manual slide the latch about a quarter of an inch and pull the arm off the drive stud.

I've slide the latch out but the wiper arm is on solid, don't want to force it.

Any suggestions?

Yeha mate, slide the little latching device out, then lift them straight off. Wriggle them around abit, but try to lift straight up. They may be tight is they have never been off before

Yeah, they are a bugger to get off so apply some pressure. You may even have to use something as a lever to help pry it off. If you do that just dont apply too much pressure as you might bend the arm.

Thanks, used some gentle force this weekend and got them to come off.

Just wanted to make sure I was not missing a step in the removal process

P.S.: had a good time with some Aussie sailors at Subic Bay back in the Nam era
