   I ended up using a hacksaw on mine to get it off coz it was so well stuck on and to be honest for the price of another back wiper if you wana put it back on your better off sawing i off than risk breaking the window

   I sawed the wiper arm off if you cut it right down the edge of where the bolt comes through it will weaken it enough to pull off

   Luckily when I checked mine after it started wiping my boot, i realised it had been cracked and super glued back on, so a gentle tug and it snapped off in pieces lmao.. Good luck with getting it off though man.

   The spindle is held on with a plastic nut, be careful thou I used a screw driver to tap mine round as it was seized solid.
