...so I said I'd sort out a friend's car - Corsa-C (meh) - usual problem with water getting into the wiper linkage and it seizing up. However, I'm stuck at the first hurdle - the wiper arms are so rusted in that I can't get the b*stards out. Any ideas? (and I've tried the drenching-them-in-WD40 route) .....

Do you mean that you cant get the wiper arms off the spindles?

Yep, they're so rusty they've basically welded themselves in
