Answer
Hi Alex,

here's how you remove a wiper arm on your defender:

WINDSCREEN WIPER ARMS

Remove
1. Pull wiper arm away from windscreen.
2. Using a small screwdriver, hold back spring clip which retains arm to spindle adaptor.
3. Pull wiper arm from splined adaptor.

Refit
4. Switch wiper motor to 'park' position, with grub screw retaining adaptor, uppermost.
5. Push arm on to adaptor ensuring that wiper blade is just clear of windscreen surround rubber.
6. Operate wipers and, if necessary, adjust position of arms.

Best of luck,
