Rear wiper removal - Am i doing it right?

[Hazza]

Right, i've bought the tool from Screwfix, and taken off the blade and the cover....

Looks like this at the moment, been tightening the long black bit, but its just not budging the wiper arm.... it just seems to slide out of place all the time!

Am i doing something wrong?

 

[Reyes]

Not sure how you do it properly as i used a Beretta 92f as it pissed me off..

 

[Hazza]

Well i want to do it properly!

 

[Hazza]

Bump, anyone?

loosen nut???? just a guess mind not sure how nuts and bolts really work but im pretty sure the nut has to come off in order for the arm to

 

[Hazza]

I tried doing it with the nut off, but it kept slipping aswell, so i put the nut back on it for some extra grip! Didn't happen!

 

[ditz]

unscrew the nut further so it holds the tool in place
and you need some plus gas/wd40 or similar on it

 

[Hazza]

Lemme try that!... brb

 

[Reyes]

Leave it like that. Looks good imo

 

[Hazza]

Nope, didn't work either!

 

[ditz]

Nope, didn't work either!

you havnt been trying long enough!!!!!!

you cant expect it to just pop off in seconds.. go out there, look at it and the tool.. and use your initative to see what you can do to get it off.. and just done come back untill its off..


all you can do mate its one of them things once told how you do it thats about all the help that can be given

 

[Reyes]

I'd saw it.. You can easily get another motor

 

[Reyes]

or plenty of WD40

loosen the nut right to the end so the black point on the tool sit in it, tighten it till it creeks abit then loosen it an put it on a side ways angle, from vertical to horizantal, then do it again and it should slowly start to prize off, it will take some force tough as they are fastend on with tiger glue stuff.

I used an oil filter removal tool, and some muscle power.

yeah i use to say that untill i tried a clio rear wiper.
i put some muscle in to it and i bent the mounts for the motor in the tailgate.. and the arm stayed put!

Strap sum balls on son! pullers should pi$$ it, make sure the legs are down behind the wiper as far as poss, loosen nut till its on a few threads and tighten the pullers down, it should pop off well easy if your doing it right.

Youve gota stop them from turning though, so get someone to hold them still for you if you cant do it.

 

[Hutchie]

i know they are sometimes a tw@ to get off but i normally use mole grips hammer and screwdrivers so with a propper tool you should have it straight off!!!

 

[Hazza]

Wiper is back on, i gave up lols

 

[bing_17]

WOMAN!!!

 

[J03]

angle grinder ftw

 

[MT AUDIO]

its a 2 min job ffs

 

[Hazza]

I know its a 2minute job, but its not budging for me!

 

[MT AUDIO]

hold the 3 "arms" in place and then use your other hand to tighten the arm,but ffs take the bloody nut off!

 

[Hazza]

Well if i take the nut off the arm that im tightening keeps sliding off when it gets too tight

 

[MT AUDIO]

why does it?the nut shouldnt be touching any part of the gear puller,its better getting a 3 armed 1,holds itself aligned then

 

[Hazza]

Yay just tried again it, and it popped off!

Can start painting it now!
