Hi,

Did you remove the wiper arm?
There is a weather cap or rubber like seal that has hardened, that might have to removed. Mine has totally crumbled. It's is not recoverable!

I put the nut back on loosely and use it to pull and push on. With the nut on you can bump the nut
lightly from different directions and not hurt the threads.

I would advise using only a rust penetrate as its is very thin.

If you can get a hold of some "Maltby" penetrate spray it should easily loosen anything stuck like this.
It comes in paint can type of sprayer. Colored are black and white with red letters.
No crappie NASCAR marketing to raise the price.

It sold exclusively by them and is patented!
Unfortunately it's Sold Only by the case but includes shipping. So it's is rare to find it in most auto parts stores.
Definitely not in todays Nordstrom's like auto parts stores!
Appears to me, they are about ready to introduce fancy garage clothing on some manikins complete with mechcanics gloves and safety glasses!

Only knowledgeable mechcanics of industrial maintenance shops used it some 40 years ago. That's how it got recommended to me back then. I have found it to work more times than not!
If not, only a nice hot torch worked!
I have tried bunches of other brands when I have run out.
If and when I run across another can I scoop them up! I use the other "get me bye's" for very easy things, like rust removal on the outside of parts, so I don't waste my Maltby.

Check out these sites for a little history and some very low key marketing owners now!

Every time I have found it, it was up in Oregon.
This site shows a separate product just for California!
Now, That figures! California is special.... Go figure as it was always made in Southern California the last I knew?
Don't know about their other products and who copied who over the years but the penetrate is patented.

Hope this saves you from digging out the dash.
It worked for me!
