   Make sure everything is undone properly.
   
   I used an angle grinder, mine would not budge one bit after everything had been undone, wouldnt even move with a puller

   You tried using a puller? dont think there much from halfords, and you can buy your gromits from there aswell

   Got no money if I just hacksaw under the wiper will tht be sufficiant to get the motor out and does the geometry on the boot floor fit the hole??

   Before you get the hacksaw out, try heating it up with a hair dryer. Works most times
   
   And if you're refering to the grommet in the boot yes it fits.

   WD40 is a god send, if not hack saw it off, just take it slow. You don't wanna jump off and catch the paint work

    I've done mine and think u need a grommet sized 19mm might be 21mm cant remember - best bet is to dewiper it on a day its not raining measure it and go to halfords to get gromit - cost u a quid for it.
