Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. In this video, I'm going to be removing and reinstalling a rear wiper arm on this 2013 Cadillac SRX. If you need this part or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.
I'm going to take this cover off over the wiper arm. Just on the backside here. It's just clipped in. Slide that over. Slide it up. There's a little clip right there. Just separate this like that.
All right. Before I take this wiper arm off, I'm just going to take a piece of tape and mark the location where the arm is so that when I go to put it back it's in that same location. You could also take a crayon and just wipe right there so you can see that. Now I'm going to take a 13 millimeter socket and ratchet. I'm going to take this nut off. Just hold the arm while you loosen it up. Take that nut off. You can grab the arm and just try to bend it out a little bit. Work it back and forth and it should come right off just like that.
I'm going to take this wiper arm. Install it right there. We're going to line it up with our tape, where we took it off. Take the nut. Spell the nut. Just snug this up. I'm going to use a torque wrench and we're going to torque this to 89 inch-pounds. Then we can take the tape off. Sometimes these clips break right here and down here sometimes these won't stay secure. What happens with these, these are going to go over on this pivot right here to re-secure it. I'm going to just take and line this up over here. Once that's in position, slide it down. Push it down and lock it in place.
