Stuck Wiper Arm Removal Tool

[@lohkie2__3]

Yeah I've broke two of those tools trying to get my wiper arms off.

[@dplorbl]

Couple points: A spritz of WD40 helps break it loose. Wipe the post with WD40 (and brush) before reattaching; some grease on the post will prevent that caked debris.

[@ryanrepairs6944]

Defo the handy option I've always wrestled them off lol

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Likewise lol :)

[@CycloneCyd]

Yeah, there was a time I did, but I've broken several arms, spindles and trims doing that. Since buying the proper tool, I've never looked back.

[@David5467]

I liked the tape trick.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks :)

[@jonk1969]

Like all single purpose tools, this definitely came in handy. The "pop" when it comes free is a bit alarming, but all is well again.

[@CycloneCyd]

These pullers have a multitude of uses. Great for pulling terminals off batteries OR slip rings from alternators and plenty more

[@flyingeagle3750]

Now that is a fucking tutorial. The best, thanks.

[@MikeWaldt]

Excellent ... thank you for the upload.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for watching ! :)

[@mikejohn0088]

Nicely done pal!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you !

[@elihnyc]

Worked great! Thank you!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome, thanks for watching !

[@andrewthomas2406]

I put a small amount of grease on the splines when i changed mine.

[@VlogsFromThe6]

thanks boss worked like a charm

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

No problem 👍

[@takeadrive]

Very handy !

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Yes it is :)

[@Franck-ju5zu]

would it work to pull out just the metallic ring of the wiper? managed to take the rest off since cracked but left with a very difficult ring!!!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It should be able to reach underneath the ring and grip it

[@CycloneCyd]

something like this maybe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHvQo4yYm9GUl6s

[@robeasy13]

Tape is a nice tip! ((🤙🏽))

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks ! 👍

[@domenicsandri2740]

Once I hired a guy who actually is a professional windshield installer. He couldn’t remove the wiper arms without destroying them in the process of removing. He didn’t use a wiper arm pulley at all. I ma sure now that he did it on purpose. What chance do I have that the spindles are not destroyed as well. I have a terrible feeling I will need to replace the wiper transmission too.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Hopefully not !

[@ostadkaar4763]

this tool can pull out ball bearings too? such as ball bearing of vaccum cleaner.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Possibly, but it might not be strong enough. I really couldn't say

[@genekostron7998]

Jeez wish I ordered this before mangling my rear wiper arm on my fricken Tahoe yikes

[@hgjhkljwright8907]

where did you get that tool from...

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I bought it on ebay

[@katharinatemmel6008]

perfekt

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks !

[@SentiMoodi]

Mine is really tight on there & I’m using the tool like in the video but it doesn’t seem to budge. Any idea why?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Sometimes they just get seized onto the splines. Do you spray some penetrating fluid onto them and let it work for a while ?

[@SentiMoodi]

@@screwsnutsandbolts Yeah I bought some PB Blaster and I sprayed it on top where the thread hex nut is. I even took off my cowl to get a better grip (replacing a broken windshield anyway). Won’t move an inch. Should I get another spray or spray it somewhere else?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

@@SentiMoodi If you can get one, try one of the tools in this video. It's a lot stronger that the others and it won't flex like the others: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJPZoqGep7WBntE

[@smiffymiffed2734]

Sure, it does work and it’s the right tool for the job, but if your stuck, two spanner’s under the wiper arm, replace the nut, apply gentle downwards force to the spanner’s, which in turn, applies pressure in an upwards movement to the wiper arm and gently tap with a hammer, works every time 👍👀😀

[@philgee7249]

The tommy bar is too flimsy, at least on mine. Can be got from Aliexpress for a few pounds. Ebay UK, £10 - 11. A major carparts outfit in UK advertising same item for £31.99 and that's after their supposed 45% discount . . . at time of this posting. The item's OK but it's not 'heavy duty' as some ads suggest There again 'heavy duty' is a relatively meaningless term. Worth buying but dont expect it to pull off a really seized wiper arm.

[@philgee7249]

Update. To get the tool used in video to fit squarely and safely on a NS Octavia mk2 arm, mark the park positions of arms with tape as per video. Stop the wipers during a wash-wipe by way of the key to leave them stationary at about 45°. This will give enough clearance at the fixed end to get the puller on.

[@ronnydisalvo80]

If the one from auto zone was to small by literally an 1/8 of an inch will this one fit?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I don't know the one from autozone ?

[@ronnydisalvo80]

@@screwsnutsandbolts its 15mm only..well im gonna order this exact one from amazon in about 1min..thanks for the response.👍

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

@@ronnydisalvo80 I hope it does the job for you ! 👍

[@OXFORDSHIREFAIRGROUNDS]

Same method for the rear one also, at a guess. Mine is stuck.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It should be similar

[@jdigitalseven7]

For whatever reason, rear arms seem to be stuck on more than regular front arms..but is possible with one if these pullers. May have to use channel locks and a long screw driver in addition to get enough leverage, but it'll come off.

[@SentiMoodi]

@@jdigitalseven7I’m having a similar issue with mine. I have this tool and it’s just not coming off….

[@williammartin9252]

Where did you get that tool

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I got this on Ebay but you can get them in most motor factors. They even have one in Screwfix: www.screwfix.ie/p/silverline-wiper-arm-battery-terminal-puller/155FU

[@chmartin444]

What make is it please

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It's Blue Spot. Here's a link here: www.wilcodirect.co.uk/product/other-tools/wiper-arm-removal-tool-bs-07929/BS-07929

[@markwilliams2830]

Wish I'd not been so stingy and bought this years ago!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

lol Me too ! :)

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

On the thread can we put copper grease or will that loosen it?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I wouldn't recommend it.

[@josem.9700]

Been looking for something like this to uninstall my windshield wipers arms as I feel I dont need them here in California as it hardly ever rains and I feel capable of driving under the rain without them.

[@rodrogers6895]

😂

[@ronnydisalvo80]

Just tried exact tool on driver side mitsubishi endeavor..got passenger off 2bolts with elbow grease...if i wanted to i could rip the srm and motor out with my bare hands..point is something is way off with this..even if seized ive been around 🔧 my entire life and tried every method..have used countless techniques with this arm and NOTHING...ZERO...SHORT OF cutting it off and replacing with a new one im at a stand still...again im very mechanically inclined and it almost seems like they threaded the arm onto to the motor pre windshield installation....i dont know anymore..next is a torch

[@danielhackett6282]

Its a battery terminal puller

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

It's both :)

[@4813RT]

I have that tool. It ain't doing shit. I'm so frustrated.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

These tools are good for removing them, as they're a lot stronger: www.micksgarage.com/d/transmission-suspension-and-steering-tools/products/2448191/laser-1793-ball-joint-separator-cup-type
