Any advice on a seized rear wiper arm on a wagon? I've tried lifting the arm to disengage the clip at the base but cannot get the arm to budge off of the splined shaft. I really don't want to get the get the torch out so close to the paint, but it seems frozen. At this point I'm thinking of cutting it off and retrofitting a rear wiper assembly out of a cherokee.
What have others done?
I've taken a half a dozen of these off wagons in junk yards and it is never a lot of fun. Usually end up leveraging a screw driver against the hatch to get it loose and pull it off. Maybe lots of WD-40 and some heat will break it loose. I would think you can come at from various angles to protect the paint, and it won't have to get red hot to break the arm loose.
Good luck!
Thanks!! I'll give the heat and PB blaster a shot.
