how to change wiper arms??

ArtD · 02-27-2007, 06:36 AM

First off, Hi everybody! How do I change the entire wiper arm assembly's on my 2005 STI? I have a set of Piaa's that I want to put on, and I can't see any clip or hole to press a spring loaded ball out of the way, etc. Things like this usually have a "trick". So guys, whats the "trick"?

Thanks!

when you lift the wiper, flip it clockwise at about 180 degrees until you see the hook. Take a small flathead screwdriver to press on the clip release and then pull the wiper assembly off.

Put a piece of cardboard on your windshield where the wiper mount would hit the glass, just in case it slips out of your hand, it doesn't smash your windshield. Although it has never happened to me personally, I know a few people who have kicked themselves.
