Some were glued on and you need to smash it to remove it.

Yea as Wayne says - mine was glued on too!
Dunno why as no problems in 5 years with not being glued.

You wont damage the steel underneath!

use a chisel or a flat screw driver and chip it off is best way.

get some mole grips, clamp them on the rotor arm base. that'll crush it off dead easy, then just carefully chip out whats left. dont forget to clean out the locking tab notch in the end of the shaft else the new one wont push on fully.

Thanks Len!
Yep it was well and truly glued on that wasnt going anywhere, chisled it off with a flat screw driver and the trusty hammer just hope I havent damaged the spindle.

Whilst your here as you seem to have a wealth of knowledge how many vac hoses are there so I dont miss any so far i have 5 is that right? also the one that goes to the ECU i have been following the hose is the ECU in the cabin or under the black plastic cover at base of wipers somewhere?

The one with the wealth of knowledge is rubjonny!

Sorry never counted vac hoses! Sure there is a pic on here somewhere!
Not all mine are connected anyway coz I blanked some from airbox.

Yes ECU is up under black scuttle panel.
