Before you begin:
* Park your vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
* Engage the parking brake.
* Locate your new wiper blades. Make sure they are the correct size for your Suburban. Consult your owner's manual or a parts store for the correct size.
General Steps (Adapt based on your wiper blade type):
1. Lift the wiper arm: Manually lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. You may need to gently push or pull on the arm to overcome the spring tension. It's a good idea to place a towel on the hood to prevent scratching the paint.
2. Identify the attachment type: Look at where the wiper blade connects to the wiper arm. You'll see one of the following:
* Hook type: The blade usually clips onto a metal hook.
* Bayonet type: The blade has a metal tab that fits into a slot on the arm. It may require a slight twist or push to release.
* Push-button type: A button needs to be pressed on the arm to release the blade. The button location varies.
3. Remove the old wiper blade: Depending on the attachment type, use one of the following methods to remove the old blade:
* Hook type: Gently pull the old blade away from the hook. Sometimes a slight twisting motion helps.
* Bayonet type: Press and twist (usually towards the base of the arm).
* Push-button type: Press the button and pull the blade off.
4. Install the new wiper blade: Follow the reverse of the removal steps. Ensure the new blade is securely attached.
5. Repeat: Repeat steps 1-4 for the other wiper blade.
6. Test: Turn on your wipers to ensure they are working correctly and clearing the windshield effectively.
Important Notes:
* If you're unsure about the type of wiper blade connector: Take a picture of the connection point before removing the old blade. This will help you with reinstallation.
* Consult your owner's manual: Your owner's manual may have specific instructions and diagrams for replacing your wiper blades.
* If you're having difficulty: Don't force anything. If you're struggling, consider taking your Suburban to a professional for wiper blade replacement.
If you provide more information about the type of wiper blades you have (e.g., a picture of the connection point), I can provide more specific instructions.
