its easy with if you do it the way its been done in the guides section!

but no dont know were you get the blanks from, i think somebody on here made some ages ago... or you can get them off the clio vans (ithink?), just use a blanking grommet

 

[Si]

i tried it how it says in the guide section. lol.

i tried it how it says in the guide section. lol.

And what happened ?

 

[Si]

it wouldn't budge.

 

[adam172]

lol. i spent about 2/3hrs trying to get mine off yanking, hammering, drilling ect so i gave up, had a quick search on here, found the guide and tried again and it was off within about 10mins (which actually pissed me off even more lol)

 

[Si]

maybe i'm doing something wrong then. i've done it easily on other cars though.

 

[adam172]

is yours rusted iv heard a few people say they rust easy ??? mine wasn't though, maybe thats why it was easy!

 

[Si]

If the wiper arm won't remove cant you cut the plastic body with a hacksaw down to the spindle.
Therefore you can remove the wiper motor from removing the retaining nuts inside although the wiper arm is ready for the bin.

Or have a taken the problem your having the wrong way ?

I think i get what you mean (whilst trying to visualise it in my head) lol. I'll have a look at the weekend. The wiper's worn so needs sorting anyway.

cheers.

I couldn't get the text to work in paint so had to use straight lines as text.

Lol

The realised it was too small when i saved it to make out what i wrote so i had to open and zoom in then do a screen print.

I hope it makes sense.

 

[Si]

lol. yes i know wht you mean. haha.

 

[D1CKY]

lol. yes i know wht you mean. haha.

So i did that for nothing :S

Lol

Thats only way i can see for you to remove wiper arm.
Only option left really.

 

[Pearce]

so no one knows where to get them from then

You could just get a 13mm washer blank from halfrauds

The guide on here didn't work for me unfortunately, I got pissed off and just yanked it and it ended up in bits. I used a ball joint splitter for the fronts and had them off in minutes. Wish I'd have bought the ball joint splitter before attempting to take the rear wiper arm off.

 

[brownale01]

I think you can pick the blanks up from halfords btw

just the grommet will mean it wont hold in brilliantly
most people just use their OEM wiper cover and fibreglass it flat,its what i did
not available in UK apparently,is in France etc though
