Not exactly what I did with my ZT.......but placed a cheeky little bid on someone else's ZT 190+ on the bay of E.....

And I can't even drive the cars I've got at the moment....I must be mad.

Only a small job, but very satisfying. Removed wiper arms, rubbed down to remove the rust stains from the pivot points, primed and finished with 'Rust-oleum' matt black, they look brand new now!

Wipers are easy to remove, two nuts 15mm, then grip tight a wiggle and a shake and they are off.

With the cap and nut off press down on the arm it can sometimes help release the alloy wedge.
1

If that does not work close the bonnet not fully just on it's catch then get your fingers under the arm wiggle & shake the arm should come loose
2

3

Replace with the refurbished ones or refurbish the ones taken off.

I always leave the nut on a couple of threads until I loosen the wedge !
Have known people ping them into the engine bay

I've just bought this car from James at Porters! All being well, I'll have it before the end of the week.
