leaking washer bottle problem

[kevin.s]

my washer bottle is leaking so i decided to take it apart to see what the problem is but cant get one of the wiper arms off. so i was wondering if there was any way of getting to it from underneath in the wheel arch?

I had the same about a month ago, got it sorted now.

My passenger wiper was a b**ch to remove, had to use a puller similar to this to remove it...

You have to take the whole wiper unit off, arms, motor. Once that stubborn wiper is off it's pretty quick and easy to remove everything.

For the cracked bottle, mine was cracked around the hole where the water pump enters the bottle, I just siliconed the crap out of it works a treat now!

Without a puller tool I couldn't get my wiper arms off.

However once you have taken them off its a piss of piece!

yeah, i was using a puller tool but it was just bending the forks that go under the wiper. one of the chaps at work has got a properheavy duty renault one though so ill ask if i can pinch it off him this weekend and try again lol.

haha well good luck with it, I was yanking mine about for about 45 first time round trying to get it off

edit: the wiper that is....
