Ah right!  Now I understand! :D :D

I have noted comments about removing w/s wipers before, but frankly, I don't know about you, I have never had any trouble doing this on any car I have owned or been in possession of.  

It just requires a technique of lifting the arm into the "bent"/ clear of w/s mode, with the nuts removed, and gently "wiggling" them off the motor shaft, for them to simply come free. ;)


Lizzie Z - i can assure you from experience that getting wipper arms off omega's is an absolute Pain in the @~#[ing #rse ::)
perhaps your gentle wiggling technique is better than mine  ;):D





Lizze has a way with the HBV... a true Lady!  :y

I have allways thought a good Yank was the way you go, but sometimes I have found a gentle twist does the job just as well.

hold the nut end with the left hand, with the right
 hold the solid shaft firmly and push pull while pulling
with the left hand, it will come.
