Guest Enzo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 lol what the actual wiper blades or the arms, you sort of need to pinch off a plastic bit to get the blades off, its hard to describe what im on about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 The wiper arms...so I can remove them, sand them down and respray them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 ecksjay should make a guide of how to slag the starbos purist style follow the front wiper arms down and to the engine bay, you will see a little cap. flat head screw driver to prise them off, then theres a nut holding the arms onto the wiper motor splines. think its a 12mm, cant remember. undo that and et voila. arm off lol.try not to move the arm round because when you put them back on, an turn the wipers on they will fly off the side of the windscreen lol. which is amusing. same for the rear, follow it down , ping the cap off which covers the spline nut. put some loctite on them when they go back on otherwise the nuts work loose.

NightSpirit Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Cheers Glanza Ragger,I thought as much..tried to remove the rear wiper last weekend in a hurry, popped the cover, removed the 10mm nut from the centre piece but the bloody arm wouldn't come free, even with me wobbling it a lot.Will try the EcksJay method.

NightSpirit Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Well me harty's that was simple enough, 10mm on rear, 2 12mm front.My next question is has anyone removed the dash/full heater control from behind the centre console...just realised it's still in there and must weight a tonne.
