Just a quick video showing how I was able to remove and re-align the wiper arms on a 2016 Ford Escape. This is a pretty common issue with this vehicle because replacing the battery requires taking off the wiper arms and the cowl / cover over the battery. Unless you have the wiper motor shafts at the 'home' or rest position and pay close attention to the alignment marks on the windshield, it's easy to get it wrong.
It's pretty easy to fix the alignment as you will see in the video as long as you have a wiper arm puller to be able to get the wiper arms off. The puller that I used in the video was the only one that we could find at the time, and although it worked just fine, I would recommend you use the correct puller. I also showed how easy it is to change the front wiper blades at the end of the video.

Tools needed:
15mm socket and ratchet or 15mm wrench
Wiper Arm Puller

Recommended/Optional:
Torque Wrench (I did it without)
PB Blaster or other penetrating oil to help break the wiper arm free.

The torque spec that I found online for the wiper arm nuts is 22 ft. lbs, but I recommend checking that in your repair manual.

Thanks for watching!
