No washer or intermittent wiper

[Haggar]

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 some upward pressure on each side of the wiper arm. Wiggle, pry, wiggle pry, spray more oil.  Eventually it will slide off.  Some of the issue is the wiper arm is to one side, so when you try to pull, you make a rotating movement and the splines don't want to separate.  The trick is even parallel pressure.

Here is what they look like underneath.

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.

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.

@Haggar yeah European cars are like that much easier i will try some heat when i have 5 minutes away from work..

 

@98whitelightnin yeah it's just seized on the spline i have been lifting the wiper to slide the clip 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?

Sorry just seen this my issue turned out to be a failed column switch I think you guys call the a multi function stick? Hope this helps!

Yes it's a multi-function stick/switch.

This should help out.

The CTM was actually unplugged. I guess po got tired of the door dinger.
