Before proceeding with the removal of the wiper arm, it is advisable to mark the orientation, or angle, of the wiper on the windscreen with masking tape, as the attachment on the control spindle does not have a fixed reference notch, but a generic spline.

This solution will allow you to install the arm much more easily and accurately.

Once the orientation of the wipers is marked, remove the protective cap from the fixing nut, unscrew the nut, and if the wiper does not come off due to corrosion, use a puller (it is helpful to spray some penetrating oil). During installation, clean the spindle of corrosion, then align the wiper with the reference made with the masking tape, fit it onto the control spindle, and tighten the nut: it is recommended to apply grease before putting on the cap to prevent new corrosion from forming.
