On changing the blade, the tensioner spring has sheared :(
When I lifted the blade away from the screen it was quite stiff and would only lift by about 45 degrees, thus making its replacement more fiddly than one other car makes where they lift to 90 degrees.

Have I missed something?? Is the spring replacement a simple job? It has a plastic turtle shell cowl which i note from other threads should be easy to remove.
