QuestionI would like to know how to replace my wiper blades is there a sercet to going them off?
Thanks
AnswerYes, in a sense, there is a secret to it, but you can do it yourself if you study the way the blades are held to the arms.
Unfortunately, without knowing which of the many brands and types of arms and blades are on your car (there were 3 major manufacturers, and many smaller ones used, even when the cars were new), I can't tell you specifically.
If the blades say "ANCO" on them, there is probably a small push button on the top of each blade, right near where the arm connects to it. Push that button into the body of the blade housing, and slide the blade out of the arm, moving it along the arm until the retainers clear the backbone of the blade.
If the blades say "TRICO" on them, there is a release lever between the arm and the blade, hidden under the blade, that needs to be pulled back toward the arm mounting. That will release the blade to lift out of the arm's holder.
If the blades have some other name on them, or you can't find a name, take the car to an auto parts store and ask the clerk to come out and show you how to get them off - usually they are happy to do that, as you will buy the new blades there.
By the way, it's none of my business, but your car is either a Bel Air or a 210, not both. If it's a 210 hardtop (no "B" post), it is simply a 210 Hardtop - they didn't call the hardtop a Bel Air after the first few years, as they mady hardtops in the cheaper series cars also, and that would cause confusion in the names. Bel Air is a series name, not a body style after 1954 or so.
