Removal of incorrect wiper arms from '64

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I'd start by spraying WD-40 or similar around the mounts.Then, try lifting the arm up away from the glass a bit so it is about level with the mount point. While holding level, try to lift it from the mount.

Ed, - I do not think that tool is still available.  I have been trying to
find one for a long time.  There are many "wiper tools" on the market, - but
none of them really work, - not like that one anyway.  Very simple, and
always worked, - and no chance of damage to the car's finish.  The stuff you
can get now is akward to use, and some of them will even mar the paint if
you are not really careful.
Most of them won't even "hold" the arm, - so it lands on your hood when it
"pops" off.

Give me the old stuff........

Regards,
DaveG.
