Puma Wiper Arms

Hi,

Can anyone shed any light as to how to remove the wiper arms from a Puma - do they just pull off? I have looked online etc but they all seem to refer to older models, and I am not sure if they are the same. Not keen to start pulling at them if they don't just pull off! Mine are looking a bit patchy and thought they could do with replacing or sprucing up.

Many thanks.

Open the plastic cover, undo the nut, 13mm if I remember correctly, and then prise the arm off the splined shaft.
I use two open ended spammers to prise apart.

As above. It is a 13mm flanged nut. You might require a wiper puller, they are not expensive and worth the money IMHO.

Wiper puller is a good tool to have.

But if caught in a pinch and need to remove a stuck wiper arm, I had good success using a mole grip (was successful on a very stubborn wiper arm).
Just loosen the nut enough to have good clearance between the base of the nut and the wiper arm (1 to 2mm, but ensure still good thread connection). One jaw underneath the wiper arm, and one jaw on the nut. Adjust the mole grip to get good pressure and should pop off. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
