Default Removing wiper arms, what do you use?

What is everyone using to remove your wiper arms?
Is there a special puller made for arms, if so which work the best.

Link-info would be great.

Loosen nut, but don't take it all the way off.

Take small hammer and tap lightly on the top of the nut while pulling up on the arm.

Ta-da! No pullers, and it's off in 5 seconds.

Been there done that, even with the nut on came close to damaged threads.
Have heard battery post term puller will work, but unconfrimed.

Got to be a correct tool.

these wipers are thread locked on and are held on with tension. All you have to do is rock the arm back and forth . Apply pressure on the left side of the nut while pulling up on the right side this is very easy. It may take a few pushes and pulls but it will come lose for you.

Not mine, I've tried every trick in the book, and every tool! I guess I will have to remove the hood so I can get a better hold on it.
