Wind Screen Wiper Adjustment

I am getting ready to head back home, so it was time to correct the sweep of the windshield wipers.

I had looked at them before but didn't proceed because I didn't have the proper tool to pull the arm off of the wiper spindle.

I purchased a set of these for use on another project waiting for me at home. The smallest 3 jaw puller is just the size for releasing the wiper arm.

The nut on the wiper arm is 1/2 inch. It is not necessary to remove the nut from the wiper arm. Just loosen the nut about 1/4 inch and use the nut to center the puller. Wrench the puller down and the arm will pop loose. Pull the arm away from the wind screen, relocate the arm to the desired position and retighten the nut.

Here's where the blades rest in order to wipe the wind screen to my satisfaction. The blades at the end of the sweep are vertical about three inches from the A pillar.
