weight reduction mod.. windshield wipers are stuck on!
weight reduction mod.. windshield wipers are stuck on! i removed the lil nut after flipping up the lil plastic peice only to find there like planted on there.. i pulled, and wedged with all my might.. so i called my buddy who siad he wound up crackin his windshield trying to free the bastards! how do you do it? i know its been done!
did either of you weigh them.. just hte arms and blades? i imagine i might shave another 10 lbs off.. if i have to buy the 10$ batter puller thing ur talking about, thats a 1$ per lb. so ****, i wish i could spend 300$ and save 300lbs lol
just screw the nut on 1/2 way or more, pull up on the arm and whack the nut with a small hammer, it will pop right off. Just dont miss and hit the windshield 
I got 12lbs for all the linkage/arms/motor.
I got 12lbs for all the linkage/arms/motor. yea that is what someone else told me.. not sure how htat is supposed to work tho. or how hard im supposed to tap it.. should i be lifting up on the arm or prying it up as im tapping it or hwat? cuz i knocked the **** **** outta the threaded end there and nothing came loose.

haha this is the buddy of mine that cracked his windshield!
it cracked more today after trying to get some pliers on it like suggested above...
just put my arm down on the window and it cracked again.....
I am not sure insurance will accept that a rock hit it....

The black plastic can stay on to remove the wiper arms, but in order to get the wiper motor and other junk out, the plastic needs to come off to get at the bolts and provide a larger hole to pull it all out through.
yea i cant reach all the motor **** anyways.. guess it will have to stay for now.. and i still drive my car around everywhere tho i have a new truck.. but i guess this way i can just throw the wiper arm and nut on in a second and go.
thanks for all the help.. i finally got them both off
just thread the nut on about two turns and get a small hammer and whack ti a few times and it breaks it free somehow... it worked.
