<VV> Windshield wipers

[Kent Sullivan]

Anyone tried this one? Seems like it would work really well on corroded
splines.

Cliff, I have the Clark's tool and it works but not great on corroded
splines. Can't apply much lifting force.

Clark's has this fancy one for about $20.00.  Anyone use it?

you [need the right] tool -- the one that works is obviously intuitive 
-- hook it over the pivot and grasp the arm and handle of the tool in 
one hand, squeeze, wiggle, and remove.

The original Anco tool is no longer available, AFAIK, but this this one 
is similar in operation:

JC Whitney lists the same tool by Lisle for about half the money, bit 
the link is twice as long:
http://www.jcwhitney.com     item #ZX158464T

The Anco tool had two fixed prongs that went on either side of the pivot 
hub -- a double ended tool with one bigger & one smaller.  Maybe keep an 
eye on eBay? This one sold May 19th:
