Hennerz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi guys, I have had a good search and have only found out how to remove the rear wiper arm. Does anyone know how to remove both the front wiper arms as need to spay them as they are corroding pretty badly Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennerz Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks mate, sounds a little more complicated than i thought, is it easy to put it back in the right position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just paint a line over the spline and arm so you know where it lines up, simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennerz Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Good point do you have to tighten the arm nuts to the specific torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkjmr Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Why don't u spray them with plasti dip? Don't need to remove them from the car then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very good point, was going to be doing the badges at some point anyway. May give it a go and see what happens But will probably end up taking them off as get a bit picky about these things.

Leeroy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I just painted my front wiper arms, it's just one bolt holding each arm to the splined spigot, pop off the washer fluid tubes first though. If you push down on the arm while wiggling it off the spigot it should pop off, it isn't too tricky to guess the angle of the arm on the spline when re-fitting - you can re-position if it isn't right. Regarding torque settings, just be sensible when tightening the bolt when you refit, you can guess the torqeness. I used Hammerite smooth, it's glossier than I expected but looks great against the Kuro black colour of my car. In fact I reckon it'd look good against any colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Coldel did his door handles in Plastidip. They're alright in the beginning but seem pretty prone to the elements and are now looking a bit worse for the wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickboy123 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It's pretty easy matey, took me about day 2 days to do. My 2 front wipes were corroded and the paint bubbling up slightly when I bought the car. Took them off, took out the washer piping then sanded the wipers back down to the metal. Then I sprayed both with 2 coats of grey primer then once dried 2 coats of Matt black. Look brand new now and still going great. It's pretty easy to fix back the washer piping and wipers in the end.
