Need tip for wiper arm removal

[LakeShoreDriver]

I recently purchased the bosch ICON blades for the MM based on an application guide for the GM. These new technology low profile blades can only be used on a hook connector wiper arm-no adapter available. My MM has the pin type connector. Began wondering if the application guide was wrong then looked around a fleet parking lot and found the crown vics and GM's are found with both types of arms. Why FoMoCo did this is a mystery. Same year cars will have different connector wiper arms. I'm going to swap wiper arms from a crown vic that has the hook connector. Sorry for the long story, to the point,,,I have removed wiper arms from an explorer. kind of a pain. Do I need a special tool for this? Is there a retaining clip or pull pin? Or is it just pressure installed and pryed off? Thanks in advance

There's a release tab at the base of the arms. Lift the arm (Pivot) and peel the little tab out. Question - why don't you just get the proper wipers?

Good luck,

Because.......I like the way they look ...I don't want to deal with boxing them up and shipping them back to the internet store and........I can do a swap with a fleet car where I work,,no cost.................thanks for the tip

I tried getting the Bosch Icons from Murray's Auto and they told me that the ones for the GM would fit the MM. I didn't feel right and called Bosch and Bosch told me that they don't make the Icon for the MM because of the Shepard's hook) and they recommended the Premium(?) blades.

2003/2004 CV/GM/MM use the same wipers, pin type.

Really......well, I'm looking at a lot full of crown vic interceptors and about half have hook connector arms and half have pin. go figure.
