That's a lot of work when you could buy a Dorman 49023 Windshield Wiper Arm Tool for $8.42 from Amazon. I scratched the hell out of a lot of paint jobs before I bought one these neat tools.

After 45 years without one of tese tools bought one and it proves once again the right tool for the job makes life so much easier.
