Couple of easy questions

[Sigi]

"2009" M1123 from Yermo.

Making good progress going through the new truck. Changed oil/filter, replaced broken mirrors, reinstalled CDR valve. Interestingly, someone added a short hose in lieu of the CDR valve. Maybe this is a CA requirement - no open crankcase emissions.

I do have a question about the windshield wipers.
They are turned such that they are pointing above the roof due to lack of glass I assume. Dumb question: how does one take off the wiper arm to reposition it? I don't see a nut and I don't want to force it.

Since this was an armored truck, I have amor mounting holes everywhere. What do people do with those? Drill out to a standard size then use plastic plugs?

The tire pressure stenciled on the fenders (45 front, 40 rear) must account for the weight of the armor that is no longer there. What are the regular non-armored tire pressures (stock tires)?

Thanks!

Look at the base of the blade arm where it attaches to the motor or linkage at the windshield. There’s more likely a little catch that you need to rotate away or push down / pull up.

My ECV truck said 30 front and 40 rear. Since I drive my truck empty, I just run 30 all around. Helps soften the ride a bit.

We plug the holes with bolts , lock washers and nuts. Those plastic plugs suck and do not last
