Removing windshield wiper

[White75]

When I was cleaning the wiper compartment, I moved my wiper and the tension spring popped off. I need to remove the wiper arm from the pivot. What's the proper way to do it and then reattach the spring?
Thanks!

Check the chassis service manual. Some model years have a tang at the bottom of the wiper arm arm which is depressed with a screw driver blade to allow the arm to lift off.

Index the arm before you remove it. It should go back on in the same position.

Spend six bucks for the wiper arm remove/install tool at your local parts store - they're made by K-D and Lisle; pops them off and on in seconds.
