Last week, I was being lazy and thought I could shift a huge pile of snow by activating the rear wiper. What I was left with was a wiper arm, spring and a bit of plastic on the floor - and maybe something else that went into the snow
Basically I can't get the thing to go back on. I've hooked one end of the spring around a notch on the bit of the rotor near the water nozzle, and the other end of the spring in the aperture about 1/3 away along the arm with the end of the arm fitting into its home near the water nozzle. Bit hard to explain, but it's the most logical way it would go.
I think it's more than the spring, because I know the wiper grunted away and I saw those bits on the floor. The spring was slightly deformed, but it took an incredible amount of force to hook it into position with the arm in place. Even when in place, I could not really lift it away from the window without it falling off
So I need to replace the wiper arm only. I've removed the hub over the water nozzle, and can see a nut, but taking the nut off doesn't seem to allow me to do anything. What do I need to do so I can replace the black arm which is attached to the rotating spindle. I have kept the blade that would attach to the end of it
The motor is good (well it needed replacing last year due to the fault where water gets inside), but it was done by Halfords/AA Service Centre (as part of my Carland warranty), so I reckon I am stuffed
