How to Replace a Windscreen Wiper Arm

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Windshield wipers

First, lift the plastic cover at the end of the wiper arm. Then, unscrew the nut located beneath the cover. It is advisable to use a penetrating spray to avoid breaking it. After unscrewing the nut, try to lift the arm; if it doesn’t come off, use the spray again and clean with a steel brush and a small screwdriver. Then, use a puller to lift it until you hear a click indicating it has released. At this point, you can remove the old wiper arm and replace it with a new one on your Mini.
