I didn't have to remove the wipers on my T5.1, I just removed the scuttle rubber seal then warmed up the plastic scuttle panel and raised it a little, unscrewed the two metal plates either side of the engine and wiggled them outI knew it wouldn't be a 10-min job.
How do you guys remove the wiper arms? I have removed the caps, the nuts, and they do not move at all. I have searched and some people talk about a specific removal tool, but say it damages the coating of the arm, another guy gives the arm, where it joins the moving part, a couple of punches with his fist to unlock it. Have tried that, which I have not liked to do at all, and did not work anyway. Then a third approach I have seen is the one in this video, but I hope I don't need to get to that.
At the moment I have sprayed them with loads of 4WD and will try later today just with my hands.
That's never worked for me unless the wipers have been off before or the vehicle is not very old. Once they are off give the spindle a good wire brush and apply a little copper slip grease to make it easy next timeHave a look at this vid
How have you got them off before ?That's never worked for me unless the wipers have been off before or the vehicle is not very old. Once they are off give the spindle a good wire brush and apply a little copper slip grease to make it easy next time
