#1: Rear Wiper Arm Author: kiph, Location: Chelmsford, EssexPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:54 am ---- Hello!
The other day some scrote decided to rip the rear wiper arm off the back off my car. So I'm left with the piece that is bolted on to the spindle. I've got a replacement to fit, and I had a quick go, and it was a bit of a nightmare. Firstly is the thread reversed? (I know twisty things can be sometimes), because turning anti or clockwise it won't budge. I've sprayed some WD40 on and i'll give it a bash a bit later on. Any tips?
Thanks

Soak it in WD40/Penetrating oil over night, and then try.
Or just cut the nut off and buy another.
