Replacing rear wiper arm - Fabia

Hi when I got up last Sunday morning, I found some **** had kindly snapped the rear wiper arm on my car. The arm was still attached but damaged.

I therefore removed the cap cover on top of the arm and then the nut with a adjustable spanner. However whats left of the arm (the black metal part) is stuck and will not budge.

I am a bit frightened to apply too much pressure, as I dont want to crack the windscreen.

Does anyone have any tips to remove it?

Also does anyone know the best and cheapest place to order the parts

Cheers

Keep the cap and transfer it over it'll save you a couple of quid:thumbup:

stick a bit of wd-40 or similar on the bit where you undid the bolt. It is just held on now by a bit of corrosion and the force applied by the bolt. Some good wiggling (I found gripping it with a big set of pliers worked best, especially as you don't need to worry about damaging it) and wiggle it whilst the wd-40 soaks in. When I changed my rear wiper arm, I must have spent 10 minutes wiggling mine about until it freed itself off the motor spindle.

Ensure you clean up the spindle afterwards with an emery cloth, or a file, and perhaps some copper grease would help, when fitting the new arm.
