I did mine this past weekend. I ordered the honda plug from ebay and then went to lowes and bought a couple washers and a 6x20 bolt worked perfectly.

As for the wiper arm removal itself, I took a leap of faith and just put my weight into pushing it downwards and it immediately came off its grove system.

The hardest part was getting off the plastic pieces lol

It really does look much better without the arm.

On the old Ephatch, didn't we have a big discussion about how the wiper arm actually pulls off not twists off? I tried to twist off my wiper arm and it started to crack...

Install
1. Open up the hatch and take out the inserts located on the inside of the hatch. They use those plastic clips to hold them in place. For the last piece you must use your Phillips head screwdriver and unscrew the screw that is located in the handle.


2. Now take off the hose that carries the wiper fluid and all I did was tie it off really tight. I will have to do something about this later but for now just tie it off. Also you will need to take off the wires that give the wiper power. Just unclip the harness.


3. Now look at the top side of your hatch and take the little cover where the squirter is housed. It swings up and down and you can also take it off. Now take off that nut.

4. Now with a little bit of force twist off the wiper blade. It should come off pretty easily. Now take off that little black piece. Take your adjustable wrench and take off that large nut. Once that is off Go back to the underside of your hatch.


5. Now you have to take off 3 nuts and bolts. They are black and are holding the wiper mechanism in place. Once you are done with that slowly ease the wiper mechanism off. Leave the black rubber piece there. You have to reuse it.

6. Now you have to take the entire mechanism off. On to the installation of the pieces you ordered. First take the black piece and put it on the top side of the hole.


7. Go back to the underside of your hatch and place the two large washers on there and then put that bolt and washer on. Once you have it tight you are done installing the mechanism.


8. Now all you have to do is to put everything back together.
