Rookey Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hey all, I'm planning on returning my windscreen wipers today, and have started on the removal process but am a little confused... I've undone the top bolt of the nearside side front arm, but still no movement... Is there a bolt I can't see underneath it somewhere? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Check out the technical guides there is one there on how to take them off and refurb them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookey Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Cheers I was following the guide but couldn't see any mention of a bolt beneath the fixture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) There's only one nut, the shaft and wiper seat are tapered so they are a tight fit. Undo the nut, put the wiper in the position away from the screen (just like you do when you wash the car) , then get a hold of the arm near the base and jiggle it from side to side to break the seal. Edited June 8, 2011 by merckx nut not bolt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 They probably haven't been taken off before and they are open to the elements so probably a little stiff or rusted on a little! I have to do mine at some point to as mine are in a bad way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookey Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Little bit of wiggling and elbow grease and it popped right off, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
