chefduane Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 2011 Limited AWD Is there some special trick I need to know about removing the rear wiper arm? I need to swap it out and have removed the shroud and the 13mm nut holding the arm on but it will NOT budge off the stud. Perhaps it is just seized on the stud and some break free is needed? I have tried to pry up the arm and it pulls up the whole stud assy that penetrates the window to the motor assy? Anybody got any tips? Should the arm just lift off the stud? What am I missing? Thanks for any feedback and Happy New Year! Chef Duane ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 no special trick, just don't force it, as you risk snapping the arm against the glass and breaking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 You need to use a puller like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-54150-Battery-Terminal-Puller/dp/B000I14RY6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted January 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Omar, thanks. Yep, that's the ticket. Ordered one from Amazon Prime. Should be here on New Years Day! Thanks again and Happy New Year! Duane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Didn't get the Wiper Arm Assy and Lisle Terminal Puller until today. But... worked like a charm. Got the broken arm off with the puller and the new one went on smoothly. Tightened down with new blade and all is well. I love it when a plan comes together! Thanks to all for the feedback and thanks to Omar for the advice on the puller. Duane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
