Hi all,,

I am trying to get my wipers off my 97 gtst ... i undid the nut under the little black rubber cap and have been trying to pull the biatch off for like 15 mins now...

I cant see it held on with any other nut or bolt.. correct me if i am wrong..

Reason I wanna remove them is to give them a fresh paint (as they are badly faded)..

Any help thanks...

-JD

yep just one nut, you will probably have to lever them off with a a screwdriver as they have probably never be off from the factory.

spray the shaft with some WD40 and let it soak in a little, the do tend to bind to the shaft

lol pshht thats what i thought when i got mine, no rear wiper, i wanted one as well, when its raining hard you cant see shit through the rear windscreen,

the rear wiper is an option for series II's for some stupid reason, while series 1's had them standard,

well in a good way its less weight for the car

you suckers! stop pulling them so hard!!!

to take them off:

- undo the nut that holds them

- press down on the join in the wiper closest to the nut

.. you will find that the spring gives way and you can hold the wiper horizontal

- take the wiper off with ease :(

cheers,

Warren

I think you should continue to Pull and Yank instead of playing with your nuts.

when i did my wipers i used touch up paint in the same colour as my car

I humg them in the garage from a piece of string and laid down newspaper for any overspray.

then i gave them about 5 or 6 coats of paint... really ut that shit on there. its now been about a year and no sign of fading or cracking :D

JD_33 - trust me you will be kicking yourself when you see how easy they come off.. i only say this as i was in the same situation, swearing etc. and my dad walked outside and took them off in one second!

removing the rear wiper is easy

1/ lift up cover and undo bolt holding arm in place

2/ Put big socket on nut (23mm from memory) and use breaker bar

3/ Replace rear windscreen

Here is a pic to help explain

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
