you do need to remove the motor as the a part of it goes through the hole to fix the arm to...its only 3 bolts anyway from memory

Also, Halfords do sell the grommit (I had the same thing as Envoy Ash)

I picked up the grommit today for 30p

You do need to take the motor out as the spindle will still be poking out.

Just take the cloth from inside the boot out (torx) and carefully tug it out with some TLC

Disconnect the plug to the motor, take it's earth out and take wiper arm of and presto!

Even i could do it which is sumthing
