Hello all,
Bought a mini yesterday and the wipers dont work (that was a fun journey home!)
I have found a new motor, but i cannot seem to be able to get the wiper arms off!
Has anybody got any ideas?
Many thanks!!

They should just pull off since they are only on splines. Put a towel or cloth over the paintwork and try and carefully lever off with a claw hammer or similar.

jammy is right. let some WD40 sit on the splines for ½ an hour or so, should loosen them up before pulling them off.

They were just a bit stiff, i can now drive it in the rain!
Thanks again.
