Rear wiper delete...CAN'T seem to remove wiper...HEELP!
 
OMG having the freaking hardest time removing the wiper. i feel like imma break the glass if I PULL SUPER HARD.

is there a trick to removing this?


from search, can't use a puller, cuz it might damage the nozzle end. some people said just pull hard, some people used pry tool thingy.

all these tools don't work for me.

this video at 0:40, shows a little trick, but this trick doesn't work for me.

yea freaking crap!!!! i want this thing off!!!

what you're saying is to pull at the nozzle end, and remove the nozzle....then safely use a puller?

update. my wiper was definitely stuck.

but was able to get it off with a puller. i screw the nut back for 2-3 threads, then used a deep socket 8mm over it. so now the puller tip rests on the socket instead of nozzle head.

and thats how i got it off,with a few turns on on the puller.

i flipped the stock grommet over (cuz the other inside thick is thinner)....used a bicycle headset cap (2$) and some bolts i found around the house. cheap and clean! used an M6 bolt to plug the water line. very happy :)
