Remove Rear Wiper Arm - 2017 Expedition

[John M]

Hi,
I am trying to remove the rear wiper arm on my 2017 Expedition XLT. I can get the 13mm hex nut off but
the arm will not budge. I tried gently prying if off but that didn't work. I don't want to break anything.


The post has threads so I'm not sure if it has to be rotated off or not.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I figured it out. I stuck a small flat head screwdriver between the back of the wiper arm and the housing for the wiper motor mount and it popped right off. I hope this helps someone down the road.
