How to take off windsheild wipers

[david-b]

Hey all;
I massively need to repaint my whole windshield wiper arms for both the ones on the front. I noticed when I pull off the cap where its connected, there is a 10mm bolt. I took that off, but I still cant pull it off. Do I have to do anything else to take it off or what? Do I have to take off that plastic piece that the wipers go into, right behind the hood? Thanks in advance?

Oh also, what would be the best paint to repaint the molding around the windows? Mine is flaking off badly on the driver side. It's showing bare metal, which doesnt look good on a full black car. I figure I have to sand it all down and repaint... but what kinda paint? I got regular black car paint. That should work, right? Right? Thanks

well when i took my wiper arms off i took that 10mm nit off and had to pry up hard because they were liked seized on there from over the years.

So theres nothing more besides that 10mm? I just need to grab big blue (my crowbar) and pry up?

Yes, once you take off the bolt just pull hard. I took my off and after I took the bolt out I though there was something else holding it, but there isnt. Its just stuck in there so pull hard.

Cool, thanks guys! Im starting to work on some external problems, so the car looks alittle better upclose.

a little advise also, when i put mine back together i used a little never sieze so it would not happen again
