<VV> Wiper Arm Removal...Success!

[FrankDuVal]

I'm glad youhad success, but that clip is a red herring! You DO NOT need 
to depress or pull on it to remove the wiper blade. I gave a link to the 
cheap tool in my previous reply:

Less than $4 delivered to your door if you are a Prime member. 
Otherwise, usually available at FLAPS.

Here is a video of it in use, from Zip Products, a local Corvette supplier:

See, no touching of the little clip.  Just apply tool and viola, the arm 
is off. If the arm is corroded in place, it will require some effort, 
but still no touching of that clip.

I made a tool which didn't work and never would because I didn't understand exactly what needed to be done.  Not knowing about the little retaining clip was responsible for all of my extra effort.  Several guys tried to tell me about them.  I didn't know exactly where to look and they are easy to miss.  Anybody else faced with this task would do well to find another arm and examine it closely and then they would have an easier time removing theirs.  Owning this car since new and having spent countless hours working on it, I thought I pretty much knew everything about it...wrong again.
