   no because the thread you see is the thread on the motor, if you hacksaw it like i did then half the thread will be in the motor and half in the arm. If you pull it off the arm will come free of the thread and once you pull the motor out the thread comes out leaving the hole for the gromit.

   be very carefull not to touch the bodywork but put the hacksaw just underneath the arm where you can see the thread and just take it easy.
   
   you cant leave the motor in as the thread will be in the way of the hole for the grommit, could take the motor out and cut the thread right off when the arm is off so its not in the way of the grommit.
   
   Think that makes sense lol.
