The only other way is to leave the nut on but at the end and get a 13mm and 17mm spanner and place the 17mm spanner on the arm at the end of the nut and undo the nut with the 13mm spanner and sometimes it pops it off but I've tried this twice with 2 clio's but the were to seized on. I used a hacksaw in the end

a very small centre puller with 2 arms does the trick nicely

Ball joint splitter, like the one in the link here http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_173425_langId_-1_categoryId_255216


That's what I've used to remove them.

A little two prong puller will do the job, few quid from machine mart as you won't need oat to heavy duty.

I angle grinded it. There's one bolt if I remember that doesn't play ball. I got my own back on that little sucker

Sounds like a right fucker of a job

Use the two spanner method in the guide section.
Piss easy.

^depends how seized it is.

I had one of those ball joint splitter tools and it didnt touch it.

Someone else had a go and they had to use the tool that's for getting the 5th gear off of a 172 gearbox!

And even then it was just tearing the plastic from the wiper, but eventually we got it off with the gear removal tool.

Rear Wiper Arm removal on 2010 Model, I took the kids to local safari park and stupidly drove through the monkey enclosure resulting in a rear wiper arm being stolen, all that's left is the small plastic piece which the arm clicks onto although this will have to come off as it has a snapped edge, I have got the plastic circle out and removed the bolt from underneath, do I need to remove anything from under the plastic trim inside the boot as tried pulling it off and not budging, I don't want to damage the motor
