Windshield Wiper Help

Hi folks,

I am trying to replace the front windshield wiper motor on my 2001 ML320. In attempting to get into the compartment where the motor is located requires me to remove the windshield wiper arms. After removing the nuts on each they won't budge. I even used a pulley to pull them off. But they won't move.

Do I need a special tool to take them off?

Thanks

Yes, you need a special tool to remove the wiper blades.
Can be found at most auto parts stores.
