Urgent?

Urgent?

He is impatient. And looks funny.

I couldn't get mine off at all. Tried every method possible.

I used a proper wiper arm puller to get mine off, it got so tight i couldnt tighten it anymore by hand, so got a spanner over the rod for extra leverage! It went with such a bang i thought the screen had broken!!!!

My advise, soak it in WD40 over night!

 

[Nafoff]

how the hell can you soak a wiper still attached to the boot in wd40 over night lol

will be hitting this in the morning,

yes rollo its urgent to me as its at the top of a long list i need to sort tomorrow

Undo the 13MM nut, get a can of WD40, spray it over it, getting into the splines as much as you can!! Leave it to work its way in!:approve:

 

[Nafoff]

did all the above, still didn't budge

however the wiper snapped a bit off so may have to get a new wiper, going to have to find another way of extracting it soon

only thing that didn't go right today, had a feeling it would be this....lol

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

Best way, feet on the back bumper, bed mattress behind u, both hands on wiper and pull like uv never pulled before. Wen u hit the mattress u know its worked lol

 

[Nafoff]

lol....will try that later then
