Removing the wiper arm

[LPG-over-diesel]

Just a quicky which I'm sure has been asked before.
Do you need a special tool to remove the front wiper arm as I have an annoying vibration coming from under it and can't get the arm off to find it. I don't want to pull it too hard in case I brake something.
Any help????

Lift the arm up and wiggle it to get it off

Yeah its just a case of rocking it with a bit of force till it comes off. Might be an idea to spray a tiny amount of wd40 down the thread.

PITA!!!

i used a tool for it, i broke the plastic handle on the tool but luckily it has a flat head screwdriver cut.

still a pain!!!

some get it off without must effort, but i cant say the same.

I had a rattle down the scuttle board which i think it was the alarm box, Was hard getting the wiper arms off i ended up using a tool to get them off.

Mines just started rattling again so im going to have to wedge the box in or something.

I used lots of WD40, and let it soak in.
Been covered loads!

Mate works for Autoglass so as the correct puller.

Thats the thing I used, I let the WD40 soak in first and turned the puller slowly and it just pops out.
