Trying to replace my rear wiper. Have taken off the nut but the wiper arm doesn't want to come off.


I have tried to pull it and prise off with a screw driver but does not budge.

Don't want to put too much force on it incase anything breaks.

Any ideas?

Have you tried WD40? May spray a little and leave it a while to loosen then try again. Good luck!

Yep tried a load of WD40 left for over an hour does not want to come off.

Even tried heating it up a little with a hair dryer.

Get a puller on it or take to local windscreen place and see if they will remove for a drink

Ive had to do this to mine as i had the same problem, i put a bung in eventually, remove the inner boot lid (two star key bolts) then with force you have to pull it off as it is held in with clips, the arm is on very tight, it just took us some force! WD40 it and wiggle/pull for some time, just stuck on real good!

hope this helps
