This seems like such a simple thing, but I cannot find the answer either in Chilton's or in the Tech Library. I have an 83 Ranger whose wiper arms keep sliding off the wiper motor's eccentric post. There's a stupid little clip, which I have, which keeps those wiper arms mounted on that post. I have successfully removed both the driver/passenger side wipers from their posts, but I need to remove the narrow metal grille piece that lays between the hood, and the windshield. I had hoped that removing the plastic nuts from the wiper posts would be sufficient and it would just lift off. Nope. there's something else keeping that grille solidly attached, and I sure can't find it. How does that stupid thing come off? The maddening part is that I can almost reach the clip without removing the grille. But "almost" isn't good enough. Suggestions? I have until Sunday to get this fixed, because that's when the rains return. And I sure as heck don't want to take this to the shop and tell them that I need them to pull that stupid grill for me. Thanks all!
