Hi guys,

As above, driving back from Chris's yesterday, the Heavens opened. Luckily not for long as my wiper blades were useless; just smearing rain water and other crap across the screen 

So. Time to replace and luckily I have time off and some Bonusbond vouchers so Hellfrauds it is today.

I've never replaced these before.  Is it the same as in this video from ETCG?

Yes, but you can change them when in their parked position

I changed mine a week ago with GM ones and they work quite well. It didnt rain for nearly a week after 

I didnt have to be quite as brutal as Eric. I just swung the wipers in the 'T' position and just pushed the blades down and around (there was no tab to push in). Fitting is obv. the reverse.

Well, I'm beat for the day. Stuck again on one screw that refuses to budge. give us 2 ticks i'll post the pics.... may have also broke a component in the process. not broken as a result of a strop i might add.... just i gave a bit too much... erm... leverage 

[omega3000]

Never replaced a leg but will be interesting having a look at the pics ..

Right, here we go :



And then I removed the torx bolt from the speed sensor and was gently (I promise) trying to prise this out as I thought it was stuck due to rust..... then boom, it snaps in half..... but hey, thats why i bought ralf
