Today I'd planed to replace the off-side top strut bearing and before removing the strut I decided to make sure I had access to the top 3 bolts of the strut which required removal of the wipers. I've bought and tried 2 different types of wiper removal tools

Eurocarparts http://www.eurocarparts.com/windscreen-tools/searchkeyword/Wiper arm
but after 3 hours I still can't get them off. The problem appears to be the back of the wiper is recessed approx. 10 to 15mm below the plastic Scuttle Panel. The only way I can see to get it of maybe to cut the plastic to get the eurocarparts removal tool deeper..............
Needless to say this weekend shall be concentrated on getting the wipers off and the bearings shall have to wait.
