JamesTdi Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Unbolt the motor form the back, take bolt off the arm and gently tap the centre it with a rubber hammer.Should work, oh I hold no responsibility if you put your window through..

Ell.s Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 You have took the nut off it haven't you? If you have stick a screwdriver behind it and lever it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Pugh Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Do you want to sell the rear wiper?Ive got one if you want mate.As said, if you've undone all the bolts, the wiper should just tap out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaten Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ive got one if you want mate.As said, if you've undone all the bolts, the wiper should just tap out.How much?Im debating on putting mine back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUIGI Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 well tried agen now and it kind of snapped so heres what it looks likethe rubber hammer thing didnt workplease help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Soak the spline in WD40 to loosen it off. Then try removing it again, it will come off eventually. Wiggling it from side to side won't really help as the shaft and wiper arm are splined.If that still doesn't work, saw through the shaft behind the wiper arm and then remove everything from the inside of the boot.

LUIGI Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 the spline that metal part in the middle yeah?thanks mate this is a nightmare haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The splined section is the metal shaft which goes through the metal section of the wiper arm.You could also try applying a bit of heat to the shaft, but not too much or you could damage the glass, paintwork or seals on the window.

LUIGI Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 thanks for the help mate much appreciated. will let yous know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGB Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I had the same issue (but it didnt snap off) Just kept soaking wd40 it in and it came off eventually. Mine had been on there for ten years probably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Do you know anyone with a puller?WD40 and lever gently with a claw hammer. PLace some cardboard between hammer and glass and be careful, very careful.Actually, just cut it 'cause seeing as you snapped the arm, there's every chance you are going to end up with a boot full of glass.
