If you take the cap of the actual rear wiper and undo the nut. You can then pull the wiper of the shaft. It will be really stiff and will feel like it wont come off but you have to be patient with it. Then it should be pretty simple to remove after.

Mine's the same as yours red-snake, the bolt is off and the wiper won't come off.

I've removed them on many of my old cars, and I've even tried a removal tool but its no use.  My next attempt will be a more dangerous one, I'm going to hit the jet with a rubber mallet!

Everything you need is in here, plus a couple of pages of cat madness but just ignore that.  :laugh:

Have you got the glass grommet from venom? If you havent and you I would suggest getting that as they look 100x better than the rubber grommets and fit better! :happy2:
