Wd-40 and when you pull it, push the joint down into the window making it run down the splines

 

[Final Maxim]

i usually lift the wiper arm up then turn and pull

Hammer???

I tried this a few weeks ago. Stuck solid. Gave up in the end.

The easiest way is apparently to get someone with the specialist tool to pull it off.

Brute force/sledgehammer FTW!

ive got a new wiper motor waiting to go on, but its stuck solid! My grandad reckons he has a pulling tool, as already mentioned, so im tryin that 2moro. Sawing the spindle has even crossed my mind.................

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

plaster it in wd40 and then leave it to soak in an give it a few taps with the hammer whilst moving it back and forth. Thats how i got mine off when it was solid

 

[fUbAr]

pulling tool is needed. for the sake of a fiver its not worth any more effort.

 

[r8byb]

ahh thought they cost more than that..

When people say tap with a hammer, i thought i was pulling it away from the bootlid, so how would you get a hammer behind it ? lol

Cheers

 

[Reyes]

I used a hacksaw on the outside..

 

[r8byb]

i only want to move it up a bit :| lol..

How does that tool work?

 

[blizz]

You put the hooks behind the "nut" and then you turn...

 

[Hazza]

Interesting, i might have to invest in one of those.

Once the wiper is off, can that plate be taken off? As mine has faded in color and looking grey, want to paint it again to make it fresh.

[Hazza]

Would this work?

If so, how?

 

[ditz]

yep..
self explanitory really the hook on the bottom hooks under the wiper arm screw acts against the threaded part on the actual motor do it up pulls the wiper arm off

 

[Hazza]

Ahhh..

So i hook on, then tighten the screw on the top, then what? lol

 

[ditz]

it pops off

 

[Hazza]

Ahhh ok.. i'll give it a go..

If i'm having no luck, i'll come find some help off ya Ditz!

 

[ditz]

lol, i got the hump with mine and cut it off with a die grinder.
never had a problem getting wiper arms off of any car before bit of wd and a good hard yank/pull and i normally get them off but my rear one wasnt moving for nothing

 

[Hazza]

I just want to take off the base plate and paint it again, coz its gone grey and yucky! lol

 

[SBV116]

Just to warn you, it may be VERY tight!!! When i used a puller on mine, the bang was so loud i thought it had broke the glass for a split second!! b**ch ass tight!

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

When people say tap with a hammer, i thought i was pulling it away from the bootlid, so how would you get a hammer behind it ? lol

Give it a few knocks on either side not behind it, it usually loosens at an gets it off the ring thats its seized on.

With this tool I dit it...

And that looks like a mint piece of kit!
