Wiper help!

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon May 30, 05 1:20 pm

I am trying to free off the arms that have not moved for years.
The part that the wiper arms fit to, are solid, I have tried spraying them with lube and wacking it with a hammer! it has moved abit!
Do they need to rotate 360 degrees?
Just so you know which part I am talking about, its the sections that bolt under the dash and come out on the scuttle panel.
Cheers,
Morgan.

they only move as far as the sweep of the arm and blade,you could try taking them out and leaving them in a bucket covered in diesel fuel for a day or two.
