Removing rear wiper arm

[jesus]

Do you just pull it?

yeh, but your best of with some sort of gear puller that pushes off the spindle while pulling behind the wiper (if that makes sense).

I had to bladder mine in WD40 for an hour or so, and when i eventually did manage to get it off, it went with a bang!

iif it works, but if its stuck on and you pull hard enough you do what I ended up doing.....smacking yourself really hard in the face when it does come off and i mean REALLY REALLY HARD! like bust your face up style....so the more civilised aproach is to use a 2 or 3 arm puller basically it hooks around the back of the wiper and you screw a screw down to pop it off

the 3rd alternative is 2 be very careful with a hammer/mallet and tap it up and down to loosen it, what happens is some sort of corrosion/dirt gets lodged in there and its really hard to break the bond hitting it loosens it and allows the wiper to come free.

I wouldnt recommend this way tbh. The gear puller option is your best bet. Hitting it with a mallet so close to the rear window aint the best of ideas. It could start to get expensive
