Default How To: Wiper Arm Replacement

I'm an idiot but I bet this has happened to someone else. Enjoy a little dramatic reenactment and detailed how to on replacing your wiper arm if you broke it or it's faded from the sun. Applies to 981 and likely 991 as well.

I have absolutely no clue how you’d do that.

Title should read....How NOT to.
I believe a stroll thru the owners manual would show you the easy way.

I believe that it says to take the car to the dealer for repair.......
DIY can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

I get great satisfaction fixing things myself and saving the cash for other fun things. I’m no greenhorn to working on cars on many levels. But this is only the second wiper I’ve ever had to replace and it was very different from the last. Hope someone else finds this helpful.
