Wiper Arm Removal
Did a search, but nothing specific enough turned up.
How do I get the windshield wiper arms off? I see the small tab underneath (which is a bear to get to), but still no luck. Do you push the tab, pull it, move it outward, inward, side to side? Can't get the arm to come off. Any help would be appreciated.
While I'm asking, what's the best way to get to the base of the antenna - mine is loose, and I suspect there is a nut underneath that needs to be tightened, but I'm not about to start removing body panels to get to it. Suggestions? Much thanks.

On yours, I beleive if you look at the pivot, where the arm secures to the "****", there should be little holes on either side. If you lift the wiper arm stick a nail thru there, let the wiper arm rest against the nail, you should be able to wiggle the arm off.

What you do is take a finishing nail or the like, and put it though those 2 holes where it hinges on the arm. That will keep the wiper lifted off of the windshield. That will allow you to pry/wiggle/lift the base of the arm up from the splined shaft.

Now, about that antenna question in my original post...thoughts?

Not too sure on the best way to tighten the antenna. There is a nut that holds it to the fender. When I shaved mine, I had the fender off the truck. What is behind the area were you need to get at? Hopefully it can be done without having to remove the inner fender.

That's what I'm trying to avoid. I may just live with a loose antenna until such time I should ever need to dismantle the fender.
