Rear wiper removal

[Bez3110]

Rear wiper arm is getting tired so was going to paint it I've taken nut off but it's still stuck solid is there another nut behind panel I need to take off ?

nope, not anything else holding it, just needs a little puller or pulling off straight.
you can get something like this or cheaper on line.

dont wreck the arm as they are hard to get hold of and unique to the bongo. you can also wreck the gromit or even the motor behind so take care.

No other nut, its just stuck on the spline. The shaft is steel and the arm is an alloy and they corrode .
A way that works for me is to lift the arm off the screen and work it in and out against the shaft pulling it up and down. After a bit of heavy handedness they usually let go, dont be tempted to rotate it though as this can damage the motor.
A bit of WD40 on the wiper shaft may help.
