The wipers in my VW Jetta were starting to falter. I had read that it was the mechanism not the motor that was the problem, so it was going to be a quick overhaul job. I for the life of me could not get the wiper arms off the posts. Until the arms come off nothing else can be accessed. I left it in PB blaster for over a week, heated it with a torch (melting some of the plastic cowl cover,) I had to use a two arm puller and even then I probably had to torque it to 30# so that equates to a couple hundred# of extraction force before it finally gave...WTF. I will be finishing the overhaul in the morning and putting it all back together. What a pain, though I did save myself $150 in replacement parts.
