    Hey guys, following the directions but just my mechanically challenged self I’m having problems with step one. Trying to remove windshield wipers and for the life of me they won’t come off. Took the caps and nuts off, sprayed with we 40 and 40 minutes later still not coming off while wiggling while pulling. Any tips?

    Have u seen how wipers mount before? There is a splined shaft- if you take a large flat blade screw driver laid over the handle of a another tool you can work the arm off the shaft. Probably not describing this well

    did you flip the wipers up and then wiggle them? If you flip them up it should help release them

    Sure, really though you hopefully won't need the screwdriver once you flip them up and just wiggle them loose maybe pull up a little while you wiggle it. Wasn't there a song like that Oh wiggle it just a little bit
