They had maybe 1/2" heads on them and multiple teeth >>around the shaft. I think they were 3/8" but I might be off a >>little. They pushed in very snuggly and appear to be in there for >>a while. Prying out the ABS won't be quite such a hassle as the >>old weather-torn cardboard, but hopefully the rear wiper has >>another 200k in her and I won't need to get in there for a while.
