 I have a '74 I have removed my wiper arms. (on and off a number of times)  But I have left them off for a number of years.  I leave the wipers in the front boot just in case I need them. As I recall, the wiper arms are simply pressed onto the wiper post splines. To remove:1) Raise the wiper arms2) Take a small blade screwdriver and work around the spine while lifting the wiper blade cap (the cap that goes over the wiper post and is part of the wiper arm assembly). I used a slight twisting motion to the screwdriver to slowly lift the wiper cap of the wiper arm assembly.   DO NOT put the screwdriver under the spline - You will not remove the wiper arm and you will damage your wiper post spline.  I learned this the hard way. HTH B. Goyaniuk

Bill,

I have a 74L also. Have not been able to figure out how to remove the wiper arms from the posts. Bringing the arms up off the glass I can see that there is a silver clip of some sort on the underside. I've tried to press it with a screwdriver and pull it with a hook, but neither has been successful.

Gotta be a trick to this someone knows.

  1. I cannot see how to remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm. The
  blade probably hasn't been off the arm since 1973. There is sort of
  spring clip on the arm, under the blade, but when this spring is
  depressed, the blade still feels like it attached to the arm rock
  solid.
  2. Does anyone have a good part number for a replacement blade which
  fits a 1974 L wiper arm?
  3. I cannot see how to remove the wiper arms. There is no screw thru
  the wiper arm to the drive post and my old eyes do not see any sort of
  clip on the back side.
  I wish these parts were made out of electricity instead of metal and
  rubber.
  The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
  Do the best you can with what your have where you are.
  Have fun today!
