I've just tried out my recently acquired Draper 71462 wiper arm puller, and it worked a treat. It needed a bit of assistance in the form of a large spanner on the hexagonal hand wheel but apart from that it was OK. You can't beat having the proper tool for the job.
I got it online from Toolsnstuff ...... www.toolsnstuff.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id...1

It's also in Machine Mart book.

For drawing the wiper arm off its splined hub, yes? And spares you the grunting and risk of damage to surrounding bits? Neat, if that's the case.

It is indeed the case. Mine was so tight that even with the puller I had to turn the knob with a spanner. I doubt whether it would have been possible to get the arm off without the tool. I reckon that without the tool you risk pulling the shaft out of the car with the wiper arm still attached to the shaft!
