Good afternoon all....

For those who have been there, done that....
What is the trick to removing the washer arms from a 55 Clipper ? I've looked them over pretty thoroughly, or so I thought, but could not find a release tab or device.....
Thank you in advance for the help...

If you mean the complete arm off the drive pivot the arms have to pull out against a spring to move the cam follower away from the cam. The arms can then pull off the splined shafts although they may be corroded and need some persuasion. Here are the instructions from one of the service counselors.

For just the blade off the arm, IIRC, the blades slide into some pairs of clips at the end of the arm.
