Rear Wiper Delete Problem

So i flipped up the rear wiper cap took off the nut, took off the wiper arm. The problem i have is taking off that metal sprayer nozzle. How do you remove this? I tried with pulling the nozzle pliers, my hands, wd-40 and it wouldnt come off, please help... Thanks

The 'metal sprayer nozzle' is actually part of the spindle, which is attached to the motor. You'll need to pull the whole motor out from the inside of the hatch. You can only do this once you've got the interior door panel off. Then it will obvious what you should remove. Should be 3 or so 10mm nuts holding it to the hatch.

A few clips and screws, if I recall correctly. Some of them are press-fit clips and you just need to pull the panel straight out. People always seem to break the interior clips, but mine didn't pose any problems.
