Are you removing it?

If so then try soaking it in WD40 or 3M penertrating spray.

It usually works but if not (like it didnt on mine) then take a hacksaw to it mate.

 

[B7JLS]

no not removing it, just need it to work fot MOT!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

rear wiper aint part of the mot buddy

 

[B7JLS]

i thought if you had one, it had to work?

 

[DannoTheGreat]

nah, just the fronts. they never got tested in the garage i worked at last if it is part of the mot!

You might get an advisory if it's not working because I've had advisories just for having a split rubber on the rear wiper in the past.

The 'if its fitted it has to work' on many parts is a con garages use to make money off people that dont know better.

Another thing to do is look if the spindle it turning and the blade not, sometimes if you put them on when the screen is froze they rip the splines!

May need the 13MM nut tightening.

Thanks guys, the splines look rusted, preventing me from removing wiper arm... would this have much to do with it?
