This was crazy hard on a 87 Daytona. A combination of pulling, loosening at an odd angle, fighting an oxidized shaft, the lock thingy and the pressure on the spring while bending the arm from under the hood. Once reassembled the wipers were over shooting the windshield so had to go thru the process all over twice and a third time. I also changed the bushings in the arms inside which was mind boggling hell forever. But finally successfull. Thanks for the info how to release the wiper arm mount lock thingy. Stay healthy. All the best.
On the top of the cowl there is s place for a screw between the wiper arms. What size screw and what does the screw lock into. What holds it in place? Need the screw and clip got one? Thanks, Dennis
I have a 96. I hope its similar. I know the guy that sold the truck to me JB welded the wiper on drivers side....should be interesting to get it off. Now I have to learn about the wiper transmission.
The 1996 Dakota is the same, no changes till 1997-2003 (The Round Body Years). JB weld for wiper arm repair yikes!!!! This is why I do these videos! Easy fix. /K&K
Yup we will be doing some more Chevy truck repair videos soon. We don't see the 305's as much as we did ten years ago. If we do get any 305 in for general repairs we will record it. /K&K
There's a bushing on the lower wiper arm linkage assembly bar that connects to the motor under the cowl that can shred out thus leaves the wiper arm linkage assemble just hanging with no connection to the motor. Its common for this bushing to wear out. In Part 2 th-cam.com/video/tjnEjxogYVg/w-d-xo.html 0:19 to 0:46 you will see the bushing that connects the wiper arm linkage assembly to the motor that I'm talking about. In years past I have tried to repair that bushing with an aftermarket bushing but it doesn't work out all the time as it just shreds the new bushing to pieces. Its better to try to find a wiper arm linkage assembly complete that has the factory bushing arm already connected that connects to the motor. Part 2 shows how to remove the complete wiper arm linkage assembly in one piece. /K&K
Thank you I got the hard part easily and had a hell of a time with the wiper arm not touching the window
