Removing wiper arm.
Is there a guide, or anyone can guide me on removing/installing the wiper arm?
I need to get it sand down & re-sprayed.
THanks!
(i tried to look at the completefto site but it's down?)

Re: Removing wiper arm.
No where near my car or remember how its set up but in pretty sure judging from my old car there's a single bolt at the bottem
With the fto may be diff or may be the same but think we have that pannel that covers them so that may need removing first

yep bduffmans right, theres a little cap at the bottom of the arm, pop that off and then theres a bolt hidden underneath.

Re: Removing wiper arm.
I failed to undo the nuts. It's not turning at all, no matter i use a spanner or socket wrench.
Anti-clockwise, right?
Or, i'm just too wimpy.

Re: Removing wiper arm.
The spray paint don't stick. It's peeling off when i installed it back. 
I did sand it before the spray painting so, what've gone wrong?
Is that the difference between 3 dollars and 20 dollars spray cans?

Re: Removing wiper arm.
and yes, there is a difference in the $20 paint.. i.e. it is designed for metal..phunkydude wrote:The spray paint don't stick. It's peeling off when i installed it back.
