How To Remove Wipers

[JD-33]

Hi all,,

I am trying to get my wipers off my 97 gtst ... i undid the nut under the little black rubber cap and have been trying to pull the biatch off for like 15 mins now...

I cant see it held on with any other nut or bolt.. correct me if i am wrong..

Reason I wanna remove them is to give them a fresh paint (as they are badly faded)..

Any help thanks...

Mine are looking kinda dull too, might be time to give mine a new lick of paint too.

However i'll wait for some responses to this question before i bother facing the heat outside and giving it a shot

yep just one nut, you will probably have to lever them off with a a screwdriver as they have probably never be off from the factory.

spray the shaft with some WD40 and let it soak in a little, the do tend to bind to the shaft

[JD-33]

yeah man tell me about it being binded to the shaft!! i used wd40 , oil and everything else that makes shit slippery and it still wont budge!!

grrr..

You just got to pull it hard , i thought i was going to break my rear windscreen but it came off successfully.

[pshht]

talking of wipers, do all skylines come with standard rear wipers? just that ive seen them on all the skylines ive come across..except for mine...

[R33TOM]

lol pshht thats what i thought when i got mine, no rear wiper, i wanted one as well, when its raining hard you cant see shit through the rear windscreen,

the rear wiper is an option for series II's for some stupid reason, while series 1's had them standard,

well in a good way its less weight for the car

you suckers! stop pulling them so hard!!!

to take them off:

- undo the nut that holds them

- press down on the join in the wiper closest to the nut

.. you will find that the spring gives way and you can hold the wiper horizontal

- take the wiper off with ease

I think you should continue to Pull and Yank instead of playing with your nuts.

and HOLD the wiper horizontal as you take it off...

What products do you plan to use when painting them?

[MacGuyver]

How do you remove the rear wiper anyone? I've been wanting to paint my wipers for some time but could never fiqure out how to remove the rear wiper.

[WazR32GTSt]

when i did my wipers i used touch up paint in the same colour as my car

I humg them in the garage from a piece of string and laid down newspaper for any overspray.

then i gave them about 5 or 6 coats of paint... really ut that shit on there. its now been about a year and no sign of fading or cracking

JD_33 - trust me you will be kicking yourself when you see how easy they come off.. i only say this as i was in the same situation, swearing etc. and my dad walked outside and took them off in one second!

jesus christ good luck doing an oil change man.

yu do know that your car has oil dont you?

Can you get the dipstick out ok?

[siddr20]

use weather proof paint, with uv protection.. costs about 10bucks.. dont think u need clear coat either..

what colour u gonna use??

do pink, come on..

removing the rear wiper is easy

1/ lift up cover and undo bolt holding arm in place

2/ Put big socket on nut (23mm from memory) and use breaker bar

3/ Replace rear windscreen

Here is a pic to help explain

[Paradizzle]

lol, f**king hell. Hmm damn that sucks, be careful to yank to hard then!

[MacGuyver]

Ha ha, I'll be careful with the rear wiper then!
