removing wiper blades
can someone please tell me how to remove the entire wiper blade arm assembly off of a 67 tbird -- I need to get the cowl off to access the wiper motor and install wiper fluid hoses. thanks, CB

Re: removing wiper blades
To remove the wiper arms you need to find the release tab underneath the arm. It's usually inline with the arm itself and you need to lift up on the tab and at the same time lift the wiper arm off the stud. You may need to use a small pry bar or screwdriver with a rag underneath (to avoid scratching the paint) to get the leverage necessary to get the arm to start to move then you can wiggle and pull straight up. To reinstall you just need to get the arm in the correct orientation and push down and the tab will lock on its own.

Thanks, it works. I also sprayed in some wd40 -- really helped, plus I had a beer for extra will power and said to myself that I will not leave until it is off – took about 10 hours. hammer with a wood block or cloth covering the arm also helped.
