I've had a quick look in the dark and it looks like it just yanks out, can anyone confirm this before I give it a go? I don't want to end up breaking it and needing a new arm.

I would have a look in the day time :p when I did mine I'm pretty certain it just clips off - but be careful as it isn't the best design - my last one broke and I needed a new arm at a cost of £30...

The new arm was more hassle than it was worth! Had to get a friend to saw through the bolt that holds it on as it had seized pretty well!

Good luck in not breaking it!

Looks like you need a small hub puller. Here are the instructions :


Activate rear window wiper to situate it in park position.
– Disconnect battery
– Raise cowling of rear window wiper and detach.
– Loosen hexagonal bolt, but do not remove completely.
– Apply tool T20177
– Raise wiper arm and separate from cone using lateral movements.
– Unscrew hexagonal bolt and remove wiper arm.

I think they tried that but it still didn't work. Trusty saw did it in the end!

Sorry Chris, maybe you'll do a better job at not breaking it than I did :)
