I just bought a Peugeot 406 `98 estate. Some previous idiot changed the wiper blades to opposite sides. There is a 22 inch & a 24 inch. I could tell right away that the longest should be on the driver`s side. I checked my theory out on another identical car.
Thing is the same idiot put a clip in the long one so I can`t just swap the blades.
I need to get the entire arm off in order to try to get the clip off.
I upped the bonnet & undid the securing nut, but the arm wouldn`t just lift up off the thread as I thought it would.
Is there some kind of secret to getting the damn thing off?
I`m afraid to pry it.
I need help, please.
Thank you guys, you have been very helpful.
You`ll make a mechanic out of me yet.
I have done the job & am feeling very clever.
Please don`t make me choose best answer, I don`t think I can.
if you really think the arm need to come off...the nut pushes it onto a spline...its like a post with small grooves and as the nut is tightened it clamps the blade so it won't rotate.which when you think about it is wise..you prise it off with a screwdriver blade from the lower part...carefully...your fingers and the windscreen ar not far away....having said all that....l think they do not need taking off...just undo the wipers from the clips.at the end of the metal arm..usually they snap in place the plastic bit has a little spigot on it which need releasing.using a tiny screwdriver.then swap the blades...and cool off prior to starting...if you get angry with cars..they bite back..lol..read the manual before starting to check you are right....just suppose you are not..eating words is no fun...
