Has anyone tried the grand task of removing a mono wiper mechanism or
even the standard mechanism from an e30 m3. I have undone the bolts but how this unit actually comes out is a mystery to me. Completely hit a brick wall. HELP Edited by Rob L |

How come you want to remove it? Have you tried s14.net I seem to remember a couple of installation guide that people had written for the bonrath kit maybe that would be of use. If wouldnt mind a mono wiper for mine so if your getting rid let me know.

As far as I remember you have to take the heater blower fan apart. You have to remove '1' from :-
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=1007&mospid=47 266&btnr=64_0480&hg=64&fg=15 you then have to remove '2' by undoing '8' in :- http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=1007&mospid=47 266&btnr=64_0514&hg=64&fg=15 This should then give you enough wiggle room to get it all out, it is a struggle though.

Sorry, but I can't really help here, because although I have had mine changed due to the driver-side knuckle being nackered so the wiper kept falling off, I got "my man" to do it. It must have been a bit of a b as the bill was quite high! |

Cats know your every thought.
But don't care. |

Ac79xxx you are a star.
Having had another 2 hour go at it tonight I took another glance before I left and thought that fan has got to come out otherwise there is not enough room. You have just confirmed my assumptions |
