After much dismay and thorough research I could not find a means by which to pry off the main windshield wiper gear box cover. I could not pry it off as instructed in the step by step with pictures presented nor did I have the indentation tabs as illustrated in the article Hesitating Wiper Fix.

What I have accomplished today was the removal of the wiper arm ... No big deal that was successfully performed yesterday ... then stopping the wiper assembly, via the ignition switch at it's furthest extension, and lubricating the heck out of it with WD 40 (the only spray lubricant I have???), with visible penetration to the gear box followed by several assembly I might add all be it slow process, over and over and over again.

Followed by several vain attempts to reattach the wiper arm at the right point where it would complete a wiping cycle without hitting either the passenger or the drivers edge molding. Eventually this too was accomplished.

What will the long term outcome be? Only time will tell ...

I swear my gear box cover does NOT pry off!

Pray it doesn't rain for awhile
