Hi, the wipers on my 2012 GMC Yukon are very slow, so I'm trying to repair them before they become fully seized. I removed the nut that holds the wiper blade onto the bolt. Please see the attached photo, but it almost appears that there is a small washer at the base of the bolt that is stuck in place. I've tried using quite a bit of force to remove the blade with no luck. I realize it's difficult to see in the photo. The bolt is currently soaking with some WD40. If that doesn't work, I'll look around for a wiper blade pulling tool. Any other thoughts? Is there some material on here that looks like it doesn't belong? Just added a second photo after cleaning the bolt. You can see the silver metal around the base of the bolt much clearer now. Not sure what that is, or if it needs to come off, or if it's part of the wiper? Thanks, Chris

The A/C belt in my 2004 Silverado 1500 4.8L snapped recently, and I believe it’s because one of the pulleys seized up. 2 days before the truck was making a relatively loud screech from the engine compartment at startup. The belt was a gator-type and installed on 12/10/17. I’m not an expert at engine repair, so what pulleys drive the A/C belt? And if one of them is truly seized, how do I properly fix it?
