    I pack mine with a thin layer of axle grease to prevent oxidizing of the aluminum and make them easier to come back off in the future.

    I know when I got my new wiper motor, it said something and instructions about cleaning a ground that can cause intermittent issues. I believe that ground is somewhere on the motor or buy it.

    Ronnie,   I have had them stuck before too....   Spray a bit of penetrating lubricant in there.  With the lock in the out position, I use some small pry bars, and slowly and carefully put so

    Yeah I've sprayed them up good i will try again tomorrow cant believe how expensive the arms are in comparison to a new motor... 

    Ronnie,

    I hope they come off for you... they can be a pain!!!   You may want to try a little bit of heat too, if you have a heat gun (or just a hair dryer.)  this also may help working some penetrating oil in there. 

     

    In the old days of US cars, the wipers had a center bolt.  So you could use a special puller (like a gear puller) to get the suckers off.....  Hey just think, this (the new clipped slip ons) saved a good 3 minutes per vehicle during manufacturing!!!!  It doesn't matter that it is a nightmare for you now!

    You have to raise up on the hinged part of the arm before sliding the pin out.

    Did you ever get this issue resolved? I put in a new motor today but still have no intermittent mode. Can the CTM be swapped with a junk yard unit easily?
