i searched and can't find the post that talks about that little screw thing at the front of the door.....

how do you get that metal piece off it so you can install the new blade?

thanks in advance for your help

 

Do you have the plastic trim piece off and the nut that was in it is stuck on the screw? I replaced mine and the material surrounding the nut wasn't strong enough and just broke when I turned the screw. I took the plastic piece off and used vice grips to hold the nut while I SLOWLY turned the screw so it didn't break. The trim piece slides back an inch or two and then pulls straight off.

 

i am talking about the brass bit, it is just spinning on the screw

 

When I did mine, the metal piece that screw screws into broke free of the rubber, so the rubber piece came off. I then just used some vise grips to hold the end in place, while I unscrewed the screw.

 

You gotta break the rubber part off so you can grab the brass piece with some vise grips.
