Review on πŸ”§ Efficient Windscreen Wiper Arm Puller & Disassembly Repair Tools: FIRSTINFO Universal Adjustable Heavy Duty Remover Kit for Battery Terminal Removal by Walter Day

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Gets the job done with some effort but expensive

The only reason I bought this puller was the limited space around the wiper arms for my 2012 Hyundai Veracruz and I didn't want to end up buying a puller that didn't fit and rendered it useless. The clearance on the side of my car's wiper arm is 5.1mm. Distance under the wiper arm 2.9 mm. The puller requires a 13mm socket. The wiper has two pairs of levers with a rounded contact surface so that the rounded end of the wiper fits into the axis of the lever. One pair has a wider contact area than the other and should be used first to maximize contact area and minimize wiper arm damage. The narrower pair is designed to reduce contact area for a better fit for even tighter workspaces. The fact that the arms slide is a plus for tight spaces and a minus because you have to fiddle with them in and out to make sure the center puller bolt is centered on the arm bolt so it doesn't slip when you pull. In my case, I had to remove both arms, start with the arm that needs to fit the side with less space, attach the center cross bolt, and then attach the other side arm. The tool works great if you center it carefully. However, I found it overpriced for what it does and how often it is used. One thing I learned from this experience is that you must use masking tape to mark on the windshield where the wiper blades are touching the windshield. Otherwise you'd have to use trial and error to find the perfect angle to mount the wiper so the driver's side wouldn't hit the driver's column if it was raised too high, so I had to remove the wiper arms a couple of times to get there the perfect angle. installation options.
