Alvey 0 Posted February 1, 2013 I need to replace the read wiper rubber / arm on my avensis 03 T3 hatchback. The arm lift only 10 degrees up off the screen. Itlooks as if the whole arm should be removed from the wiper spindle, but I dont know how without breaking it. Help pleaseAlvey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fitter 3 Posted February 1, 2013 The arm is held by a nut under the plastic cover at its base. It may still be tight on the splines so you could use a puller or give the bush of the arm a blow with a hammer either side or try warming it up. However if it only the blade you want off just lift up the arm and turn the blade fully over to the left until the rubber is upward and there is a small lever to press and lift it upward off the arm.Fitter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help pleaseAlveyThe blade will come off leaving the arm in place by lifting up and turning the blade through 180 degrees, if you really have to take the arm off as well then as fitter says lift the cover at the base then spray some penetrating Oil on the nut and spindle then leave for a while ... but be very careful removing it as it is mounted in the rear window glass.Pete.

old fiver 1 Posted February 2, 2013 If you just want to replace the wiper blade there is a plastic cover at the base of the arm. To remove it ease the cover at both sides of the arm and it should lift off allowing the blade to be lifted clear of the window and changed as described in other posts.

Spink 1 Posted June 8, 2014 I would like to know which blade I can use to replace the old one on a Avensis 03 Hatchback. I went to the local store, but they couldn't find the right blade in their computer. Who's got an idea? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avensisd4d786 250 Posted June 8, 2014 last time I got it from Toyota with plastic bit for under a tenner, or you can just replace rubber. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
