Re: wiper arms
Lift the arm up as high as it will go. You have to hold it in that position while prying the bottom off its pivot. Seems like you need three hands to do it but it will come off with some coaxing.
Warning: they may be stuck so it may require some serious prying or coaxing. I use a towel under a claw hammer or pry bar and ease it up. Try not to damage the paint. |

Re: wiper arms
There is a removal tool that works pretty well. Most "Help" sections in auto parts stores have them and you will not skin up your cowl using it.

Re: wiper arms
This is the tool that makes removal a lot easier.
