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 ------------- 1990 E30 M3 Sport Evolution |

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. ------------- The Future's The Past |

As far as I remember you have to take the heater blower fan apart. You have to remove '1' from :-

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  ------------- 1990 E30 M3 Sport Evolution |

I got the wiper assembly out I got the wiper assembly out I got the wiper
assembly out I got the wiper assembly out la la la la. No 8 was ok as I had the right tool for the job (makes a change) Thanks to Steve C for the holding the torch so i could see what I was doing
Now I am in the know I would have done things in a much different order, but hey all worked out in the end - just need to install the new mech now  ------------- 1990 E30 M3 Sport Evolution |

Engine bay. Only way it can, would never fit the other way. ------------- 1990 E30 M3 Sport Evolution |
