When a car part wont come off: A seized wiper arm removed the home mechanic way

I was trying to replace the rear wiper motor on a 2000 Dodge Minivan and ran into immediate trouble when the wiper arm proved to be seized to the motor shaft. This an all too common situation when removing car parts…but a wiper arm? Watch the frustrating, original and sometimes comic process of a stubborn home mechanic finding a way to get it done.
