Wiper blade removal tool

This is a simple, inexpensive tool, made for removing the wiper blade. I got it from Whiitney, but it's probably available at auto parts stores. It is not complicated like an impeller puller or a faucet puller, no penetrating oil required after my wiper arms sat on the shaft for 5 years.

It is a flat chromed metal strip about 6 inches long x 1 inch wide.

It has a slight bend about 1/3 the way down to provide a leverage.

The operative part is a small, loose metal hook on the end.

The hook end engages underneath the wiper arm hub. A little pressure on the end of the flat tool lifts the arm right off the knurled shaft.

This item is available from J C Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com) as Wiper Arm Remover, pn ZX158464T, cost: $4.99 + s&h.
