73 Satellite Windshield Wiper Arm Removal

[gyxffyg]

Well the bushings for my windshield wipers all turned bad and must be replaced. After searching the threads here it sounds like the easiest way to replace them all if to remove the wiper mechanism starting with removing the wiper arms themselves.
So how are these wiper arms removed? I looked at them and there does not seem to be a clip or keeper that needs to be removed that I can see.
Thanks,

Don't hold me to this, but a lot of Mopar wipers I've seen have a very small metal "tang" that is just barely visible sticking out near where the wiper arm attaches to the pivot which gets pushed/pulled about 1mm to release. Others I've seen (like my '70 Road Runner) are just a press fit, so all you do there is pull up and it comes off.

The pivot and the wiper arm both have slotted grooves that keep the wipers going where they should instead of just spinning on the pivots. BE WARNED, either way, if you pull the wiper arms up/off, don't use the back end of a claw hammer unless you are SURE you have the force distributed evenly with a piece of plywood or something under the hammer. I made that bone-head mistake myself when I was about 17 and cracked the windshield on my old '73 Charger...... arghhhh!

There is a spring clip on the wiper motor, under the rubber cover that has to be removed off the cam mechanism, plus the screws that hold the wipers to the cowl. The white plastic bushings are available at local auto parts store, Dorman part number 49440. The wipers them selves, you lift up the arm, there is a small tab that pulls out and they release off of the spline.

Thank you for the info idrivemopar. That was a big help and I got the bushings replaced this morning.
