de wiper

[Willsam]

Hi I know this has been covered many of times but I can't seem to find the help I'm looking for, I'm trying to take my wiper arm off and it is just jammed onto the motor, I have covered it in WD40 and allowed it to soak and it still won't budge, anyone know any advice for me to try? thanks.

Had to use a saw on mine.

Mine wouldn't move at all, WD40 , force I tried most things in the end I have up and used the hacksaw.

I don't really want to do anything where I won't be able to get it back on as the car is going to my sister once I'm done with it.

Second hand one is £10 off eBay when you come to sell the car or in your case give it your sister.

WD40 isn't penetrating fluid. Use something like this.

I have had the bolt of the wiper arm but obis the arm still attached, tomorrow i will try to attach the bolt back onto the arm and remove them both at the same time using the 2 spanner method i have seen on a guide, if that fails might just cut the arm, not cutting the motor, don't fancy paying out for a new one of them when i give the car to my sister.

Careful it's easy to smash the screen. Pop to Halfords and pick this up, makes getting the wipers off simple and less chance of smashing the glass.

Cutting the arm wouldn't really work.

Theres a tip with like 17mm spanner over the arm and the nut, unscrewing it to pull the arm off, but it didnt work for me.

I tried this too, didn't work for me either! Had to get junior hack saw on it!

It got to the point where the angle grinder came out and I had to rip the motor out, but it's de-wipered now. I'll probably regret it in a months time.

This job is just a pain in the arse. I dont see how it gets so stuck on

Dis-similar metal corrosion and it's an interference fit. A wiper puller will get it off.

3 way pulley from tool station works a treat, as does a hack saw.

I prefer using the pulley and they are cheap.
