How to remove Wiper arms from my 71 442
#2
there should be a little clip on the underside of the arm, it secures the wiper arm to the gear. all you need is a flat head screwdriver to just bend the clip back a little while you pull up on the arm to get it off the gear. if they havn't come off in a while, they might be stuck on from rust or oxidation, so you may need to tap it with a rubber mallet to break it loose, or just keep wiggling it until it pops off. but the procedure is just bend the clip back and pull them off.

good point....i usually put a rag on the car itself to protect the paint, and i didn't say use a hammer, i said a rubber mallot. very different, and obviously you don't have to slam it hard, just enough to break it loose. i've never damaged the wiper arms or the paint by using a screwdriver.
why waste money on yet another tool, when you can use the ones you already have?? u can do what you want, i'm just saying all you need to get them off is a screwdriver, u don't NEED any special tools.
