Wiper Arm Puller - Homemade - non-MJ


Recommended Posts

I needed to pull the wiper arms on my 2014 Ram and didn't have a puller so I rigged one up in about 30 minutes from stuff in my bolt boxes and a drop from a piece of angle. The Ram arms are splined and held in place by a nut and prying them off doesn't work.

 

I started with a 3/4" flat washer

Then marked it to cut it into a "C" shape and tap a couple of 1/4"-20 holes.

Next, I cut off a piece of 1" x 1" x 1/8" angle as long as the the washer is wide. Drilled through a couple of 5/16" holes to match the tapped holes in the "C" washer and drilled and tapped a 1/4"-20 hole in the center.

Add a 1/4"-20 capscrew in the center threaded hole as the jackscrew.

Then run two more, longer 1/4-20 capscrews through the angle and thread them into the "C" washer.

To use the puller, slip the "c" washer under the arm and assemble the puller to it with the long capscrews. Snug them up to pull the washer against the underside of the arm.

Tighten the center capscrew to pull the arm off the stem.

Tip: Take a photo of the way the arm is positioned on the windshield before you pull it so you can line it up correctly when you put it back on. You should be able to guess why I added this tip.

 

Nothing rocket science about this and there's probably a tool at Harbor Freight for this purpose, but I needed one and enjoyed the building process.
