How to Remove the Wiper Arm on a 2001 K1500

The wiper arm on the 2001 Chevy K1500 series truck slides onto the wiper motor drive shaft as it extends out of the cowling of the truck, just below the windshield. Removing the arm for replacement of the arm or to allow repairs near the arm will only take a couple minutes. Replacement arms are available from the Chevy dealer network or a used arm may be available from a salvage yard. If the tension spring on the arm has come loose or breaks, a new spring can be installed after removing the arm from the truck.

Instructions

1

Locate the retaining nut on the end of the wiper arm where it meets the wiper motor on the truck. Place a socket over the nut and use a ratchet to turn the socket and nut counterclockwise.

2

Remove the nut from the stud and set it aside. Lift the wiper arm from the blade end until the wiper arm is vertical. The arm will lock into this position.

3

Place a flat screwdriver under the wiper arm between the arm and the wiper motor. Slowly pry the arm off the splined shaft of the wiper motor, being caul not to damage the arm or truck with the screwdriver.
