Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we show you how to replace a wiper arm on this 2003 Nissan Altima and we show you on the driver side but it's the same procedure for the passenger side. The only tools that you're going to need for this are a flat blade screwdriver and a 14mm socket and ratchet. Pry off the cap on the wiper arm and then remove the 14mm nut. Once it's removed, just pump the wiper arm down a couple of times and then it should pull right off. Push the tab on your wiper blade and pull it off and then clip the wiper blade on to your new wiper arm.

Push the arm into place and replace the 14mm nut. Before you tighten up that nut, you want to make sure that your wiper arm is lined up properly. Then once you've tightened it up, replace the cap and then do a quick test to make sure your wiper blades are where you want them to be.
