I have removed the wiper arm from my mrs' 9n polo. have bought another one from vw but when i took the old one off, it left a metal "ring" just below the thread. this must have came off and is shown as the silver ring in the new one below.
how the hell do i get the old bit off without breaking the spindle/thread?

lots of wd40 and a proper wiper arm puller mate, if you use any force you risk breaking the spindle or the window

would a hacksaw on it do the job - just to chop it to loosen it off?

Take it off the car and and heat to it save damaging the thread if that don't work then cut two slits in it and then it should come of otherwise dewiper
