Rear Wiper Removal
- Thread starter Jordanb29
- Start date
I used a grinder when all else failed. No going back though.

Ahhh :/ Didnt think i want to go to that extent as i would like to put it back on for when i sell the car later on. Ill have to see if a garage can get it removed for me with a tool or something. Dont know how renaults are put together and fall apart easy apart from the frigging rear wiper.
Put the nut back on the wiper arm.
Hold a spanner so its over the end or the wiper arm and the nut holding it on.
Undo the nut with another spanner, as you undo the nut it will pull the wiper arm off the spindle.

I tried a proper wiper puller and all sorts it was not budging.
I just left it in the end until it became a race car then got the grinder out.

PM DanEdser on here he will tel you.
If a normal de-wiper tool wont do it, get the gear puller tool that's meant to get the 5th gear out of a clio gearbox.
That's what I ended up using to get mine off, even that struggled!
Was stupidly stuck on.

just removed mine, did the 13mm/17mm spanner trick for a while, then the nut just span off are pulling at the wiper - THE ARM WAS SCREWED ON! I literally tried to turn the wiper and it just unscrewed off the spindle!
Now...for removing the spindle and motor!
Edit: I didnt use any WD-40 or whatever either. To check to see if it'll unscrew first!

Hey guys I tried to do this today doing the 13/17mm spanner trick, it unscrews the nut but my arm just won't budge, without chopper the bugger off is there anything else I can try?
Dynamique 1.2 16v
Yeah I think it really is! I'm going to order a tool next week off the bay, but I've left it with wd40 on over night will go back to it after work tomorrow to try again
Get aggressive ...

I realised when I came back to this spread haha!
Just hacksaw it off... by the time you've payed for a new tool you can get a replacment wiper arm from any car breakers for a fiver when it comes to re-sale/re-fit time

the insert on the wiper arm was fused to the spindle on mine bigtime. i broke the wiper of with mole grips and it was still stuck on. then i undid the motor and pulled it out with the insert still connected. then viced it and bashed it off but the motor spindle was fubar'd. dewipered now ;-)
