Ok so I've got my new facelift rear wiper arm to replace my broken pre facelift arm.

Can I get it off? No. Doing my head in, bolt removed, 6 litres of wd40 applied, screwdriver, hammer, pliers and bruised hands and it doesn't budge an inch. To save my neighbours from the torrents of abusive language :censored::censored::censored: can someone tell me what to do?

I've looked at other descriptions of how to remove it and "give it a wiggle" isn't really cutting the mustard :(
 
Sorry in advance for not being any help whatsoever, but I tried removing this a while back, same thing. Wouldn't move, not a single millimeter. At one point I thought I was gonna pull the whole thing off, black rubber surround too. There is a tool you can buy that you simply place over the tip of it, and screw, but I can't even think of what to start typing in Google.

Edit:
here you go, was easier than I thought. Just type in "wiper removal tool" in to amazon.

From what I remember, I took the nut off then turned it over so the flat bit it pointing up then screwed it on so the thread was just about to poke through then got some pretty big grips and squeezed the wiper arm and top of the nut together... I tried everything you did along with the bruises and swear words then I asked my boss at work being a fix it sort of guy did it in about 10 seconds...
