So how the heck do our windshield wipers come off? The whole unit itself...I've got the nut off that sits under the plastic shroud but the wiper arm itself will not slide up free from the threaded bolt.

Thanks!

 

use a 2 jaw puller it will work wonders

 

I think you can just pull up on it really hard. They have a softer metal inside them like lead or something. Mine stripped out while it was raining and the wiper just stopped halfway up the windshield.

 

They always get stuck. Use a puller.

 

Resist the urge to pry on it with a screwdriver. You risk cracking the glass underneath the cowling.

 

I used a crowbar

 

Thanks for the tips...I didn't want to pry on it too hard. I will give them a little more elbow grease. Replaced my burnt spark plug wire and burnt 02 wire today. It idles much nicer and feels more peppy now. I need to get it back on the dyno. I think I will see 405+ now that those are replaced and it's broke in

 

I have a little tiny Pry Bar that works perfect for the Wipers. You just have to give them a good kick and they come off.

 

i usually hit the sides with a hammer to loosen them up. then bend them like you were changing the blades and pull up. wiggle a little bit too. should come free.

 

I got them off this morning with a small crowbar..

 

Broke one yesterday. will all Camaro 93-2002 fit my 98 Camaro. Thanks, John

 

The 97 or 98-up ones differ a little. I used them to put on the newer style wiper blades.

 

Be careful I have seen more then one person crack the windshield.

 

Sweeet! When u goin to the dyno?

 

Went to the junk yard today. pulled a wiper off a 95 or 96. Ended up cracking the winshield using a angled screw driver. It was different than the 98. Get home and use the same screw driver on my car and no luck. i was careful not to crack the windshield so it is still stuck will try again tomorrow.

 

Hahaha, atleast it wasnt ur windshield.

 

Wiper puller $15.00 from advanced auto. Can I put 93-96 wipers on my 98. If I don't get any answers I'm going to try it anyway and then will let you know. I'm changing my nose from a 98 to a 96 next year so I figured I might as well go back to the old wipers, John

 

take the easy way......fold the wiper up so the tip points up in the air......then grab it at the bottom, right where it folds and start wiggling. It'll come off in no time.....Years of playing with them has done wonders

 

I cracked my windshield trying take them off. Ih well at least I have 98 style wipets and blades that are worth a ****.
