I couldn't used the above guide, its a simple method but works!
Some people have used ball joint splitters iirc too.

had a similar problem with mine, you need a wiper removal tool, £15-20 off ebay iirc.

or you could cut the arm from the motor mate, angle grinder should do the trick :approve:

 

[brownale01]

follow the guide, plaster it in wd40 and have loads of patience, it will do the job

get a puller you can get them cheap enough its kinda like a centre punch with 3 hook like things to take grip then when you turn it coz of the tread it pulls it out with alot of force you should be sweet put a good few goes of wd on first n let it doak in

 

[Knuckles]

hmm ill try caking it in wd-40 and ill try and get one of those tools, thanks for that

I had the same problem mate, did the above guide and came to no success. Just ended up hacksawing off the motor arm, came out instantly. Aha

 

[Knuckles]

[Knuckles]

thanks mate

 

[S23]

aww no, i dont wanna hack it off lol... when i get bored/pissed off i wanna put it back lol

Neither did I mate, but TBH can pick them up for about 15 quid when/if you wanna put it back on. Aha. I spent literally a wholeeee day trying to get mine off, hacksaw was the safest option TBH as I was not in the mood to try anything else. Aha.

 

[Knuckles]

hmm ill have a go on friday... see what i can do

 

[gunner3011]

hack saw it off, if your gonna put it back on after a few weeks if you get bored then dont both de-wipering

also you could buy another one from a scrappies for pennies

 

[clio-ant]

yeah hack saw it off, i dewipered mine last week was soo hard getting it off. tried most things lol. only takes 2 mins to hack it off lol

 

[HOLLA]

Just been reading this thread as I've been trying to do mine but it won't budge. Also I couldn't even get the motor off from inside. Are you guys using 10m spanner and a screw driver?

It's so tight to get the spanner in and I could get it to move. Plus I'm worried about wrecking the head of the screw.

 

[iBocanegra X]

I would lime to de wiper mine , and have mo clue how to , what do I need ? Is there like a kit you can buy ?

 

[B4RK3R]

Just removed mine try all methods, haxsaw worked best for me

 

[Knuckles]

What a bump had it off for ages lol

For anyone else attempting this, stick at it with the spanners, worked for me
