[T3] removing wiper arms

["Earthman?" <human@binauralaboratories.net>]

Hi all,

Nice to see the search function in effect.. 

I need to remove the driver side wiper arm in my 73. Where there should be a nice 
grommet, seal, tube or whatever through the body there is nothing, and wear is occuring 
on the shaft now that I have the car on the road again (not to mention a major leak). I 
gave the Bentley a once over and it crypitically says to remove the nut, and then arm..   
but the nuts have been long removed from my car (no jokes please <g>) and the wiper arms 
seem quite happy to be where they are at!

Before I do something hasty and whip out a small puller (after re-reading the manual for 
hidden tips) is there a tried and true method for removing my wiper arms that will not 
entail damaging anything?

My uber-thanks on this rainy spring day!

Peace,
Curtis
