XC 90 2007 - Need help replacing rear wiper arm

Post by dfitz16 »

Help. Rear wiper arm cracked off in a car wash. I recently purchased a replacement arm online but can't pull the assembly off after removing the bolt that holds the arm in place. Probably something stupid I am missing. Any suggestions?

Welcome to MVS.
I only have illustrations up through model year '05 so the design might have changed. At least on the '05 it seems simple enough. After taking off the plastic cover, you just undo the nut and the arm comes off:

Just needed a vote of confidence. Pair of pliers did the trick with a little muscle. Thanks. This post should help as well...

Been there, done that...

Pull harder...give it a jiggle...

(Seriously, it's held on with friction, pull hard)

:D
