   Ive removed the bolt that holds the wiper onto the spindle but its jammed solid! I sprayed it with WD40 about an hour ago and still no joy.
   
   Any ideas?
   
   Thanks.

   I thought about the hacksaw/grinder route but want it off for now and if i dont like it stick it back on without having to buy another one lol.

   You can just hacksaw the blade off the spindle. then all you need is a new blade when you want it back on, which hardly costs much. just make sure you dont fuck up the spindle otherwise you'll need a new motor to get it back on.

   if you cut the wiper arm right next to the spindle(where you take he nut off) the wiper arm then it will come off then just cut the metal washer off with the teeth on that grips the spindle(you might not knw hat i mean but when you doit youl know) then youl save the spindle
