Ok am i missing something here?...i've spent an hour trying to get the rear wiper arm off the car, but its just not budging! I've undone the out covered it in wd40 but its just not moving regardless of whether i lever it, pull it whatever...any suggestions??

Thanks :)
 
put your hand behind it to pull on it, then tap the spline you took the nut off with a hammer, it will come off

would have loved to have seen that, one of them things that makes you roll on the floor laughing..

sorry

are you doing the punto wiper mod?
 
Haha dont blame you :) the b/f didnt hesitate to laugh so youre not the only one ;) yeah just finished it now... Looks loads better!
 
ahhhh!!!! i was there for ages trying to get it of, i even took the interior of the door out and had a look, im a fuck wit:( took bloody ages to get back on again ,lol
 
Are you doing the rear wiper mod so that it sits at the bottom aswel? If not, you should do, will look 10x better, plus you would have saved all this wiper removal hassle cos when you undo the motor after undoing the wiper nut, a simple tap and the motor unit falls in and the wiper comes off! 2 for the ache of 1!
 
Get some pics up! hope my advice with drilling the punto wiper hole helped.

When I did the motor mod, I tried to get the metal washer out using pliers and it just became a mess. Ended up using the end of a blue spade connector, bored it out with a file to fit the pin and used a bit of PTFE tape to keep hings smooth.

the major bodge would deffo explain why there's a load of slack in the arm, and it only takes a bit of bass to leave it sitting slightly lower than horizontal :(.
