Which nut removes the rear wiper arm? I removed the one under the cap but the arm seems tonot want to come off. Should I be taking off the larger nut near the base instead? This looks to be a no brainer, but I don't want toapply to much force to get it off and end up breaking it. Thanks in advance guys.....

The top nut is indeed the one.

Try wiggling the arm a bit with outward pull and it will come off.

I had the same problem when I had to replace the washer tubing after it broke.

Thanks a bunch jlenkows! I thought that had to be the one. I'll give it another try.

10-4 on above info. The arm is sprung inward against the window.This puts pressureat an angle on the arm Stem or hub. You have to grab the arm and keep the pressure off of the stem so you can pull straight out.

I was able to remove my rear wiper arm with a gear puller but the plastic separated from the metal insert that sits on the motor shaft. It is frozen in place. Any suggestions on breaking it loose? I hesitate to use heat for fear of damaging the wiper motor. There isn't enough grab to use the gear puller on the insert. Help please
