Quick question, does the rear wiper have a nut holding it on like the front ones, or does the boot interior trim have to be removed?It needs tarting up a bit and would be better painted inside the house at this time of year. Thanks. ________________________________________ 2006 Performance Blue Mondeo ST TDCI1999 Black 306 Rallye 1991 Lazer Green 205 1.9 GTi 2003 Blue Focus RS 1999 White 306 Rallye 1992 Red 205 1.9 GTi 1988 Red 205 1.6 GTi |

the actual arm part is held on by a nut no need to remove the motor.Its only if you wanna remove the motor that you have to take out the boot trim. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

The arm is a right pain in the arse to actually get off in my experience.When the nut is put on it pushes 2 parts of (what I presume is metal) together that kind of end up welding themselves together and are therefore a bit of a bugger to separate. ________________________________________  Black Rallye |

The fitting itself is a splined taper than sits inside a bush. The two corrode together.Tape up your back window and stealth spray it on the car lol, it's far less hassle. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

It's not that bad you pussies. Take the plastic cap off, then the nut and wiggle the arm towards and away from the screen and spray some penetrating fluid around the joint. Don't go mental though else you could break the motor assembly. ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.

I must have had half a can of wd40 on it, wiggled and pulled it to the point of being worried I would rip the boot lid off! Mine must have just been particularly 'weathered' I guess! ________________________________________ Black Rallye |

I cut through the arm on mine as the motor was being binned anyway, and drifted the remains out of the arm in a vice.  ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Did this today, dead easy. Nut came straight off and then with a bit of persuasion so did the arm.Now all painted up and ready to go back on. ________________________________________ 2006 Performance Blue Mondeo ST TDCI1999 Black 306 Rallye 1991 Lazer Green 205 1.9 GTi 2003 Blue Focus RS 1999 White 306 Rallye 1992 Red 205 1.9 GTi 1988 Red 205 1.6 GTi |

Grr, in the process of trying to do this now.Took the plastic cover off and the nut and the arm looks like it's joined to the thread. I take it that it isn't joined and should just slide off? I've scrubbed it with a wire brush as it had discoloured etc so is it just a case of wd40 and wiggle then? ________________________________________ I only drink on two occasions...

It'll slide off now. The splines on the arm are just engaged with those on the shaft. Edit: Is yours a phase 3? It might be different but I can't confirm one way or the other. ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans.

Phase 3 still uses a splined taper, you just can't see it as the bush inside the wiper arm will be stuck fast. Your only hope is to keep lacing it with penetrating fluid and pray. You'll more than likely break the arm getting it to come off. Use a bearing puller if you have one.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

I could tell just by looking at mine that it was going to be a right pain to do it on the car so I took the motor off the car, clamped it in a vice and cut through the aluminium centre that the arm had broken away from with a grinder.Changing the arm took less than 15 minutes in total, including removing and replacing the trim panel and motor. ________________________________________ Rich |

Yep ph3, I'm changing the motor so have a spare motor so can see how it connects.Tempted to order a new arm and just bash the shit out of it  If I loosen the motor and the sleeve I should be able to hit the pin with a hammer if you know what I mean... hmm ________________________________________ I only drink on two occasions...

If the motor is coming off cause it's faulty, cut the spindle off, then drift the remains out of the arm in a vice.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Finally got it off, with light fading decided to cut the spindle as said. But when trying to remove said spindle from the arm the metal collar from the wiper arm came out, :/ New wiper arm time! Anyone remember how much they are from Pug? Think I've seen them for £23 deliver on eBay. Thanks ________________________________________ I only drink on two occasions... When I'm thirsty...

Drift the spindle out now then, then glue/push it back in the plastic arm, it's only a press fit to start.________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |
