don't know if that one works on the disco


Hi Pete

Plus 1 as tried it on mine but think because they were so tight the ends of the puller started to bend so had to get the other puller with the bigger ends, was still a right sod to get them off , did fit new arms as I noticed some of the threads were worn

Wonder if the wiper arms have an anti stall program to stop them if they become stuck due to snow etc

should do wipers without issues but not as universal as one with arms.

Funny enough looked at those but was unsure if they would fit underneath the wiper arms

Wish I had that kind of talent being able to make things like that , same with woodwork where u see perfect joints being made

If you saw it, the word "talent" would NOT have been in your response. The main bits were from a clamp that held an industrial rated monitor arm to a desk and would probably have supported a 32" CRT monitor.

the U-shaped bit for going under the wiper arm was hacked from a bit of aluminium sheet and the cut-out looked like it had been made by a blind-man guessing what a U-shape was.

A two legged puller works just as well

Did warn you ... found it in the garage whilst looking for something else the other day.

No-one will ever say it was a "form over function" design. Laughing

I made the mistake of tapping the spindle with a centre punch and hammer to get my arms off, the result being the spindle coming out of the bit that turns it.

Put it back in place by tapping it in from the other side, but a few months later it started to play up.

But, got a second hand one from fleabay for £25 incl. p&p., that also came with a warranty.

Considering the risk to the scuttle panel and A pillar panels to access the motor, and the fact that it is a simple single bolt to undo and do up, I'd suggest getting a good secondhand replacement and fit that.
