How to Remove the Wiper Arms on a Honda Odyssey
The wiper arms on your Honda Odyssey are an important part of your windshield wiper system. The wiper arms provide a link between the wiper blades and linkage, ultimately receiving power from the wiper motor. Removing the wiper arms isn't as simple as removing wiper blades; the arms aren't a scheduled maintenance item. Removing the wiper arms is the same on all Honda Odyssey models produced from 2002 to 2010; other years should be similar.
