Introduction
Replacing your wiper arms is necessary if you have experienced windshield streaks even after replacing your wiper blades. Furthermore, it's a good idea to replace your wiper arms if they have been exposed to harsh weather for a significant amount of time. This guide will take you step by step through the process of removing your wiper arm and replacing it with a new one.
Parts
-
-
Take the tip of your flathead screwdriver, and wedge it underneath the wiper cap.
-
Firmly pry the wiper cap upwards until it's completely off.
-
-
-
Place the head of your ratchet on the exposed nut.
-
Loosen the nut by turning your ratchet counter clockwise.
-
-
-
Firmly grip the lower end of the wiper arm.
-
Pull it towards you, so that the wiper arm is extended in the upward position.
-
-
-
While holding the lower end of the wiper arm, tug the wiper arm upwards until completely detached.
-
-
-
Have your new wiper arm extended in the upward position (just how your old wiper arm was extended at the end of Step 4).
-
Take your wiper arm, and center its hole on the exposed metal threading.
-
-
-
Once the wiper arm has been placed onto the metal threading, firmly grip the lower end of the wiper arm.
-
Slowly push the wiper arm downwards and away from you, so that it's flat with the windshield.
-
-
-
Place the same nut from earlier onto the exposed threaded metal.
-
Place the head of your ratchet onto the nut.
-
Tighten the nut by turning your ratchet clockwise, until it can no longer be tightened.
-
-
-
Firmly press the wiper cap upon the exposed nut.
-
Once the wiper cap is secure, you may repeat steps 1-9 to the other wiper arm.
-
Once you have replaced one of your wiper arms, repeat the same process for the remaining wiper arm.
