2004 saturn Ion windshield wiper arm stabilizer bar?

Husband changed windshield blades on 2004 saturn Ion. The stabilizer arm broke where the aluminium crimps around the plastic on the pivoter (where the arm pivots) Arm now flops all over the place when turned on. First question can I get a windshield wiper arm puller for this car and if so where. and second question any hints or tips to fix this problem without spending $200 { what saturn has quoted us to buy new parts(transmission linkage) problem} would be greatly appreciated.

if you look at the petersons manual for that car-should just have to push in the tab at the stub and should come right off-did one yeasterday-go to your local auto salvage yard to find one...should be plenty of em out there

The %26quot;Best Answer%26quot; is incorrect. The Ion wiper arm fits onto a tapered shaft and is held on with a nut. If you can't gently wiggle the wiper arm off the post, you need to use a puller to prevent damage. I used a small puller that was designed for removing battery cables from the battery posts.

no way around not replacing the trans, you can do it yourself, you can use a battery cable puller to remove the arms or just remove the nuts then wiggle the arm and it should come loose.
