I've had to repeat the removal & install a couple of times before I got the wiper arm where I needed it to be located. You can mark the end of the shaft with black scripto & put a small mark with a white scripto on the wiper arm (at the edge of the mounting flange rim; won't be seen when you install the nut cover). Later,

A SMALL dab of lithium grease wiped on the spline will forever allow EASY removal, onward!
