have been trying to adjust the passenger wiper, but i can't seem to get the arm off to change the position. Can't apply to much force to get it off due to the plastic surround, tried wd40 to help but still the arm won't come off. Can anyone advise on this

time and patience!
It took about 30 mins to remove the arms when I did the aero conversion. i put wd40 on, and left over night, and then added loads more the next morning.
After a few hours i spent 30 mins with more wd40, wiggleing it off.
You can get wiper arm pullers if your realy stuck tho!

about 1 can should do it!
Keep putting some on, and leave for a few hours. It will come off, just be careful and not force it, or you will break some thing!

just fold the wiper up then wiggle it until it comes loose when you get it off I would advise putting a bit of copper grease around the bolt the wiper arm goes on this way if you ever need to take them off they will slide off with ease
