Wiper Arms

Has any one removed wiper arms on the is 250. Drivers side requires painting, as going corroded. Normally plastic cap lifts but not playing ball.

Thought it would be easy as have resent windscreen replacement.

Yep. Did mine last spring. Prising up that plastic cap is a little tricky...but it eventually releases. A really thin bladed flathead screwdriver was what I used.

Once they are off. Rub down really well and use etching primer before the finish coat. Hung mine up from a screw driven into a garage joist.

Did you have the bonnet open Normski? Did you prise it from the bottom, seems a stiff so and so.Yes got some etching primer and satin black paint.

Bonnet was closed. I used the blade on all sides of the cap.

Just done them, used a hook shaped screw driver. Surprised how tight the nuts were on, did them with bonnet open. Cheers for the reply.👍
