Again, as I said: lucky bastards lol

So I'm trying to remove the wiper blade arm so I can adjust its resting angle, but can't get the dern thing off. Any recommendations? The internet seems to say hit it with a rubber mallet or pry it with a flathead screw driver but it feels like I'll just destroy my trim or bend the wiper arm post.

It's saved me from breaking so many things

I couldn't even get one of mine off with a puller. Had to borrow the special BMW tool from a dude. Shit was awful.

Nice find. Sounds like these cheapies on Amazon work with the e46 as well

I used tie rod puller similar to this. No reason to have dedicated puller for the wiper armshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b728585e51.jpg

Too late, much like 1-use tools in the kitchen, I love cluttering my parents' garage.

This is the wiper puller that looks exactly like the one shown in the BMW TIS - out of stock currently:
