Technical Rear wipe blade

[AlisonLaPrima]

Hi, I’ve just purchased a second hand La Prima and I’m loving the car. However, I decided to change the wiper blades as they were a bit scratchy. The front ones were easy to change but I’m really struggling with the back one. The wiper doesn’t lift off the windscreen more than a couple of cm and so I can’t clip out the old blade. Should it lift up 90 degrees to the glass and if so, is there a trick to releasing it? I’ve tried YouTube but they just have the original petrol 500, so not hugely useful.

Having a mind blank as I did this not long ago but pretty sure you have to unbolt it.

You replace the complete unit which entails unbolting the old one and bolting on a new one.
