    Heard of a few other users doing this so knocked it out tonight. 14mm socket. Super easy with 2 tips.

    1. Tape a line where the wiper is before you take it off so you can line it up again later
    2. Push the part that goes around this

    Down flush with the windshield. It makes it much easier to pop off. You’ll see what I mean when you start taking it apart.

    I hit them wire a wire brush and some industrial rustoleum I use to on my bumper

    and I had to paint twice because when I did the first coat, it was so humid outside the paint was blotching
    Round 2 I painted outside then hung in the shower

    Here’s them tonight

    Super easy to do and makes the truck look much better

    Looks good, nice write up. It always cleans up the look of a vehicle doing a fresh respray for the most of the time neglected wiper arms.

    I toke a different route an went with white :)

    I did the arms and cowl as well. Then swapped out some of the rubber seals. Looks a lot better

    You can use Cerakote trim restorer on the cowl instead of painting it. That’s what I did, looks brand new
