- In this video I will show you how to replace the wiper arm on an Audi A4 Advant the hard way! This will be similar for various makes and models.

Brilliant!! I watched 15 videos before this one and you covered exactly what the problem was! Cheers mate!
Brilliant! This looks exactly like my Skoda Octavia estate. Top tip!
This is exactly the issue I have! Going fetch a cutting tool immediately... editing the post now that I finished. All it took was penetrating oil and it came right off. Thank you! This was for my 2004 Toyota Sienna rear wiper arm.
Thanks for this. I had to replace the rear wiper arm on our C2. As I live in Finland, it had ten years of heavy road salt to contend with. I first removed the old arm by snapping the plastic and then used a wrench to hold the aluminium insert while I loosened the (very corroded) nut. To get the insert off, I used a nut splitter with a flat blade - even before it had cut all the way through, it had deformed insert to the point that the corrosion just snapped loose and I could wiggle it off with a screwdriver.
I've just replaced the wiper arm on my 2002 Audi A4 Avant using what you've shown us here, and all for the princely sum of £5.59. Top advice, thank you!
Watched alot of these and this is the best way. Cut a vertical notch, big enough for a large flat head screwdriver, and pry it appart. Thanks
I’ve just done this exactly how was shown and worked perfectly! Thank you sir!!!
Very helpful indeed! I was searching a while to find exactly THIS. The video quality (sharpness) leaves somewhat to be desired, but the explanation was good. Thanks!
I did my fix today on a 14 sq5 rear wiper arm, I used a hack saw for the whole job firstly cutting through the plastic arm then I did two more cuts through the aluminium nut which was tapered and eventually fell of.. pretty easy just don't saw into the bolt thread
Great video! I have different car, but they are all exactly the same with respect to the rear wiper mechanism. Same thing, the aluminum ring was welded to the metal underneath and had to grind on one side and then it was easy to separate using pliers.
Many thanks. Your video was a good confirmation to what I thought was the case.
Good to know! Im too young to drive right now, but when i eventually get a car this might come in handy one day.
If you have the space and a willing family buy something cheap and start taking it apart and putting it back together it'll help so much.
Also boring safety first comment, be super careful when jacking/supporting the car and the likes and taking bits off.
What first car would you be after dude?
Thank you so much. Very helpful
Just sorted mine using ur video cheers mate
Awesome Friend!
Thank you so much! I have this issue on the 2011 VW Touareg
brilliantly done. thank you.
Thanks to this video, I put mine today , I had it for long time a go hanging !!!! Thanks bro...!
Excellent video... Helped me alot!
Thank you very much for how to do it!!
Thank you. This was so helpful!
More common than not and the Dremmel tool works well... be patient. Great video. Cheers!
Thanks! I was wondering why the new wiper arm wouldn't go on....still part of the old one on there!
Ok thisnis very useful thanks
My c3 just done the same thanks for the tip
Wow, wow, wow, perfect video!
Cheers mate very helpful. Liked n subscribed👍
oh yes my corsa has the same problem, now i am going to cut the thing off ith a hacksaw, my new wiper arm and blade will be hear Monday or Tuesday. thanks mate i nearly whent and spent money on a puler
How much would it cost to have a mechanic do it for you? Vs How much does it cost to fix it yourself?
Great job. Whats the name of lubricant ?
Superb - thanks for this. What was the cutting tool you used?
A Dremel clone with an extension tool (was purchased years ago from Aldi for £20, similar things on eBay/Amazon)
@@CarAndMechanical brilliant - thanks. I actually used a hacksaw in the end. Wiper now replaced cheaply and easily, all thanks to you
thanks very much, I am/was ready to kick my A3, but this should be easy to tackle and I won't look like a car hobo with a wonky rear blade.
Is there other way to remove it without that machine? @carAndMechanic
Is there a way of doing this if you don’t have access to anything electrical? (As the car is too far away from an electricity source)
I can’t even get the wiper off to get at the aluminium ring! Dunno😬
I kinda have the same issue but not sure if it’s the wiper arm or the wiper motor. How can I tell if it’s just the arm or the motor? When I turn on my back wiper it goes clockwise down towards the bumper and not anti clockwise over the windscreen. Can anyone give me some advice?
oh yes it worked but used a much better tool my nephew Paul James and his grinder lol,, so now my corsa has a new wiper arm..
you can just glue that nutring no need to replace the whole wiper arm
"a-lew-min-yum"
luckily my peugot wasnt as fused to the bolt as i was able to remove it via a spanner
Bh
Just remove it...
If it was possible it would of been done. I did not have the right size pulled (to big or small) and it's a part that needed to be cut off due to the corrosion.
hacksaw works and alot quicker
