as long as you have the right sized spanner

cant remember the size sorry.

i was scared of pulling too hard though

but its easy to do yes.

pull up the cover that goes over the nut, then just unscrew it and give it a little (although seemed hard to me

) pull and the old wiper just comes off

when i asked about it it was said to be a 10 minute job, took me about 30 mins

but it is a 10 min job

Edit: although the merira wiper is a wee tad smaller than the original one. but it looks smarted, i hardly use the rear wiper

and it clears enough to still be able to see out of, i havnt had any problems with visibility when i have used it. other than that i only changed it to look better and it does just that

I saw a new Corsa today and the rear wiper is nice and tidy - would that not go on?

dont know about a corsa rear wiper.

but a punto one would NOT fit on the corsa.

well im saying this because i took the one off my brothers car (punto sporting 3dr seen in the pic) and tried that one to see if it would fit. the arm doesnt not have enough of a "bend" on it to allow it to reach up on to the rear widow. so i chose to get the merira one which does reach up onto the window.

i dont know whether a 5dr punto on would fit

im not sure, but the one off the 3dr sporting was too straight
