Hi!

I have a problem with my Alfa 155 (1994). My windshield wiper has broken of,
just above the place where it is attached to the little motor. I would like
to move my other windshield wiper there, but I don't know how to get it of.
To be exact: it's not the blade, it's the actual wiper-arm.
Anybody know how to get this of?

Thanks!

Hi Geert,
I do not know which type are fitted to the 155, but if there is a
plastic cover on the end nearest the motor, you can lift the cover off
from the rounded end, it usually is a hinge type. plus it may have a
15/18mm round black plastic cover over the nut Under the cover you will
find a nut to release, [I think 13mm + or - 1mm ] after you take off
the nut sometimes if you move the arm side to side it will come loose
then just lift off. If not get a large screwdriver and with care use as
a lever to lift it up off it's splined shaft.
This was the type fitted to the 146 so it may be the same type. Good
luck.

Have you tried the famous alfa-forums in the Netherlands to get an answer?
On www.alfaclub.nl and www.artc155.nl there is a lot of expertise to be
found for dutch readers....
