Nah it's easy mate. Remove the two motors. So 4 screws. Move them out the way.
Then the three to remove the casing are very very simple .
I used a short 6mm on a ratchet and nothing else. No bendy bits etc.
Once you have loosened them with the ratchet, you can literally unwind them using...
Only two motors mate. The two that look identical. When you take both off. You will see what you need to do.
The one closest to the bulkhead is what you need to fix.
You will see the cog that the motor sits in has cracked and splayed out.
Take the cover off, use a cable tie to pull and hold...
It's an ok job, got cramp in my arm a few times. I found it easier removing the two motors, and then the other three to remove to cover.
Instead of it all in one. Quite tricky getting on to the top screw with motor in place.
Each motor is held in by two screws, then the cover is three more.
On here mate. I just put up a wanted thread. Ask for one cheap as possible in any condition.
Snappy (member on here) will retrim it for you. Sending mine off to him soon. Is on holiday at the moment.
Getting it done like this
I picked mine up for £70 that's with the air airbag.
Can normally pick just the wheels up for £30.
If do that, send it off for a refurb. Then swap it for yours once its done and returned to you
The way I do it is take the nuts off, then put them back on a few threads.
Close the bonnet, wack the wiper arms by the spindle with a rubber mallet. Works them free eventually. Then just wiggle them until they come loose
Never had to buy one mate. I'd buy one from halfords if I had too though.
I take it you do mean you nearly striped the thread off the wiper spindle? That the nut goes onto?
