Just thought I would pass this along, I have the siezed wiper linkage issue, but my new aero wiper arms I just installed seized on the spindles on the linkage. I searched and tried all the different methods and cannot remove the arms, they won't budge! I remember that they were tricky, but now their stuck. So I found a unique tool on ebay that I hope will help, has anyone tried using it?

Hope another audi'er will find this post in a search helpful. I will report back if the tool works and how well.

But looks like my wiper frame is trashed, driver's side wiper spindle is completely seized beyond repair and will not come out for an overhaul.
You would figure with all the years in WRC they could make indestructible wipers like on other makes?

I did not have the same luck with the wiper arm puller. It was very difficult to turn the handle due to the hood being in the way. With much pounding and wiggleing it worked. I put anti-sieze on the splines upon reassembley.

Hi
I have 2003 Allroad with wiper arms for Aero blades and I'm tiered of paying 40 bucks for a pair. So found A6 2002 wiper arms cheap. So is it hard or easy to replace those? Do I need special tools?
Thanks
