Changing Rear Wiper Arm
So, the plastic part of the rear wiper arm on my 2004 Yaris (French build) cracked and the arm dropped down off the window. So, I removed the arm and was left with what appears to be a knurled metal ferrule still on the wiper spindle. The replacement arm has a copper coloured ferrule in it so the one still one the spindle has to come off, but it wont. I've tried spraying it with WD40 and pulling it off using a wiper arm puller tool - the tool just slips off from behind the ferrule.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? How do you get this piece of the original arm off the spindle? Cut it off? Heat? Any advice gratefully accepted. PS: The VIN plate of my vehicle starts with VNK and the original wiper arm had 'Made in France' on it so I'm pretty sure I've identified the parts I need correctly. |
