How to remove and install brushes with "J Hook" attachment

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Windshield wipers

In this video we can see how to install brushes with a so-called "J Hook" attachment, that is, those with a metal hook in the shape of a "J", where the brush is attached. In the front part of the hook there is a place for the brush, and all you have to do is remove the clip attachment to remove it in the opposite direction of the hook, where at the bottom we will find a hole: that's where the brush is fixed with the clip. So, to remove it, we pull the rod into a vertical position, and rotate it so that we can grip it at the bottom: press the plastic button and push the brush upwards. For safety, put a towel on the windshield, because if the rod spring snaps, it could damage it. Now we put the new brush in its place: just follow the instructions in reverse, so insert the hook into the brush and then close it until you hear a "click" And there you have it.
