Someone notified me that if you remove the cap over the nut it allows you to pull the arm back far enough to replace the wiper without removing the arm.
I will delete my comment because I also tried it on mine and it didn't work. The person who told me that was wrong. This is why you can't trust everything you read on the internet lol . The way I did it is correct
Came across your video when trying to figure out how to replace our Nissan's rear wiper. Thank you very much! We appreciate youtubers like you showing us how to do things that really should be in the manual.
Fantastic video. Thanks for posting because sometimes the simplest things seem hard until you see it done. This was easy but seemed impossible at first.
Great video, thanks. When the motor shaft is not seized on the wiper arm, that is simple operation, though well explained on your video. In my case, I was at the point of using the only puller I own, a big pitman arm puller. Looked again before on RUclips and found another method performed on a Nissan Rogue's rear wiper. It consist in flipping over gently the wiper's blade. Done safely in a cinch (Versa Note 2014)
That video will help more people than you think. Customers at the Zone get pissed when we tell them that we can't replace the rear wiper blades for them due to the risk of breakage & the extra time it takes to remove the arm on most cars.
The tech at my auto supply store didn't know how to replace it. I certainly didn't know how. And your video explanation is the only one I've found so far that addresses the particular design! Thank you!!!
Great video budy. It did help as I need the replace it on my spouse car and I wasn't quite sure how to do it without breaking everything along the way. Thanks.
I made it easier way. I bought a cheap 12" wiper for $12 + tax with the same width of the rubber part. I pulled out the rubber parts with their 2 metal stripes from the new wiper and the old wiper without dismounting the old wiper, and swapped the rubber parts. It took me some five minutes. Tested - working well.
Aww, man...I thought you'd given me the solution to not being able to prise the arm off mine...but mine won't unscrew either. It seems to be stuck on there forever! 😭
@@themechanic6117 that was going to be my next step...but...and I hate to say this...I found another video that shows how to remove the blade without removing the arm at all and it was so simple that I almost died of shame. Just remove the cap over the nut, to give a little more flexibility, and pull the blade arm away from the glass with one hand. Put the fingers of your other hand between the blade and arm and push it away. The blade literally just pops straight off the arm. 🙈🙊😳
Nice one dude,I like these videos honestly. Wipers can make you look dumb as hell in your driveway when you're trying to remember how that thing clicked on so it doesn't come flying off on the highway.
I have tried without removing it and although I didn't break my wiper arm, I did scratch my glass haha. So glad to see how to really do it from now on.
Can you show the EASIEST way to replace the blower motor, since it's on the freakin drivers side? What a beast! I'd like to just detach the gas and brake pedals, move them out of the way without disconnecting wiring I can't see!

Great video, mines needing to be swapped out. I do have a question about this vehicle though. The radiator fluid in mine is getting old and it’s low, so I’m going to drain it and fill. Am ai able to just fill through the radiator cap like a regular car or do I have to find one of those specialty tools to fill it? Kinda annoying how many specialty tools you need for this car. I have the manual and I’m stubborn and don’t want to hunt somebody down with said tool or buy it myself, as it’s $400.
I see , i already have one of those tools. Its a universal tool that you can use on almost any car. It pulls a vacuum on the system so it only sucks in coolant when you open the valve and you dont have to bleed the air out the cooling system. I almost never use mine. I just bleed air out the old fashioned way.that tool isnt necessary

I will try this first.
Never would have figured it out on my own and the owner's manual was useless, so thank you.
You're welcome

😂😂... "And just drop it"..
Needed that laugh this morning 👍👍
I’m going to change my partners blades this weekend. It’ll be my first time changing them! This is very helpful to me! Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome, good luck
I tried doing it on my own (without watching your video) for an hour and gave up. Thank you so much for this!!
You're welcome.thanks for watching
Thanks! I’m glad I did research instead of getting mad at the thing and breaking my windshield
It definitely helped me. I never thought I would have to remove the wiper arm to change a blade. Looks simple once you know how.
I hear you lol. Glad the video helped you

Thank you! Been driving around with the replacement for a month until I watched this to learn how to replace it.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
This video was very helpful to me was trying to figure out how to change my rear wiper on my note without breaking the arm thx again for this video
Thanks for watching

Yeah i can see that. I was surprised when i realized i couldn't quickly just change it like the front blades. Stupid design if you ask me.
The tech at my auto supply store didn't know how to replace it. I certainly didn't know how. And your video explanation is the only one I've found so far that addresses the particular design! Thank you!!!

This was the most helpful video. I was able to change the wiper without any issues. I did need to remove the arm on mine though.

Great job Jonathan! That's a crazy ass design! 😂😂😂
Something so simple ....and they designed it to need tools. Nissan garbage lol.
I appreciate the video. Oddly enough, after removing the nut I still had to unscrew my wiper off of the bolt. Either way it worked so thank you.
Aww, man...I thought you'd given me the solution to not being able to prise the arm off mine...but mine won't unscrew either. It seems to be stuck on there forever! 😭
You need a special tool like I showed in the video if it's stuck

I'll have to try that. I never tried pulling the arm back with the cover removed 🤣👍
Yes, thanks for this tip, I too will have to check this out. This would save me the extra work and possible headache of removing the entire wiper arm.
Thank you this was very helpful. I wouldn't have thought to take off the arm
You're welcome
This video is so helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome
Merci, thank you for the useful video. From Gatineau, Quebec.
You're welcome

Its nice to put together a video that doesn't require so much time lol
@@themechanic6117 true but you also did really nice cuts/edits it was really clean
Nice and easy but I can see some trying to replace it without removing it 😅
I'm sure someone out there has broken their wiper arm lol
I have tried without removing it and although I didn't break my wiper arm, I did scratch my glass haha. So glad to see how to really do it from now on.
Thanks bro Video really helped. I would of broke mine trying to do it. Lol

That could be a good diy video for me. Thanks for the recommendation
I'd LOVE a good one!
Makes for confidence!
@@themechanic6117 all I know right now is I'll be working upside down in a tight spot. Less frustrating the better.
Thanks!!

Silly? Thanks i appreciate it 👍
Where did you get the tire Rod removal tool? I’m trying to buy one but in order to remove the rear wiper arm
Someone notified me that if you remove the cap over the nut it allows you to pull the arm back far enough to replace the wiper without removing the arm.

When I do my coolant flush im just going to fill at the radiator cap
Can you send me a link of the special tool you're talking about?

I didn't drop it. Did i do something wrong?
No you'll be OK 😁👍

You're welcome
i can't believe yours is still going, i hit 212 km and its dead
My 2015 has 30k miles. It also has a manual transmission
@@themechanic6117 sorry mine is 212000 kms, the cvt went dead so i ponied up and bought a civic
Good choice 👍

Not the easiest way. I did that easier. See my comment.
Alot of times the arm comes off without any puller. With the nut....if you don't have a wrench or socket, I don't know what to tell you .

That's another way to do it👍
Don't nead to take the wiper arm off
