Wiper Arm Removal Tool

[Ranger16]

Anyone know where to get one? It is pictured on page 8-84 of the 1969 Plymouth service manual and has a part no. of C3982.

I could probably make one if anyone could post a better picture of one with some dimensions.

I just used a claw hammer lol. Lay down a heavy rag on the cowl then something to spread out the load on top of the rag so the hammer doesn't do any damage to it. Worked real well.

Cover the entire hood. It can chip paint if it ejects. I have proof.

I always used a cotter-pin extractor[sharp/bent screwdriver], and pulled up on it. If you screw-up....you go to the ER. It makes you careful.

I had a feeling this thread would bring out the 'best' in us! lol

These are both the same and not what is pictured in the 1969 Plymouth service manual. I don't believe they would work. Wish I could cut & paste the picture.

I have this tool and it works great. I have used it on practically every type of Mopar from 64 through 99 with no scratching of paint.

IIRC the arm has a sliding clip under it. Lift the wiper arm, slide the clip to lock it, a little jiggling and it should lift off.

I've never used a tool to remove any style wiper arm yet.

This is the best one I've ever used.

I don't know about a "sliding" clip, but there IS a locking tab and that is what the tool is for. It holds the locking tab clear of the lock groove so the arm and be lifted off. It's really quite simple. I may just have to use the trial & error method and make one. Can't be too hard, then again, not something that is needed often, just would be nice to have.

My Dakota has that sliding clip that also holds the wiper up off the glass. You lift up the wiper a bit and slide the clip out just a bit and then you can pull the arm off. Once it's in that position, they slip right off without using any kind of a tool....at least mine do. The older stuff is harder to do because of that lock clip they have and if the wiper arm hasn't been off in many moons, it too will require something to pry them up....hence the claw hammer lol. I used the claw at the very back end of the arm and if you can find a hammer with a wider claw, it works even better. Just be careful with it if you do use one.

now the question is, if it has been on for many moons, and you do manage to get it off, how do you put it back on clocked correctly?

Sometimes, with the clip holding it off the windshield, you have to eyeball it and hope it lays on the windshield where you want it. If not, remove and try again...

thanks Kid. ya, that's what I figured. I was hoping there was some little trick or something...I did mark both sides with a paint pen in hopes of lining them up later on. we'll see!

In my case they where both off last year for a windshield replacement.

I have the Snap-On and it has been great for over 20 years~ it removes em no matter how long they've been on. On installing, place the wiper on the glass where you want it and push it on, just make sure the switch is in off.
