You can buy the nylon cups from Nissan, they are not that expensive but as Shaun says they are a tw@t to change. you have to push them in place and turn them through 45 degrees to lock in place and then you have to force them onto the ball part of the joint. It can be done with everything in place but wrap a rag around your forearm otherwise you could cut yourself on the edge of the metal of the bodywork. The old Micra and Bluebird use the same nylon cups so Nissan should have some in stock. Taking the whole lot out could be easier but often the bolts holding the pivot posts sieze on. If you can get them off I would fit them off the car. You will find a nut at the back of the motor behind the firewall panel, you can remove the linkage from there too. I think it takes a 12mm spanner. If one has popped off the other will be worn too so do them both. Good luck. Paul.

cheers for that information, but I've already cut myself just squeezing my hand in the gaps just trying to bodge it together the other day.

Thought something held it together just didn't know what, always handy coming here to ask first before getting a garage to check it over and give me a completely different diagnostic. I'll let you know how I get on, again cheers for the help, much appreciated

when i did mine, i think i popped them on first, they go on easier that way, and then put it in the arm, and twisted to lock. dont quote me on that thou.

Yep you pop the nylon bush on the Wiper ball first then that pushes onto the rod. Once in then turn it to lock in place

when mine went, i got all of them, and changed them all, saves having to do it again another day. i think 3 were the same and one was different, was a while ago now though.
