Get a cheapo two jar puller from O'Reilly's. I got mine off with that. I had to work with it and even mod the tool via cutting on it but i got it to work.

They will come off they are just hard wiggle them up and down and back and forth. Use a big flat head and pry the bottom as you pushing and pulling they will come off...

They make a special puller just for GM Wipers if I'm not mistaken. Do a google search, I guess I understand why they make this tools now. Prying the wipers off using the windshield as a pivot point always makes my butthole pucker up...

Ummm I could find it but it is going to be on the wkend. No time right now.

It was in the aisles. Took it and made the bar handle on top shorter. Modded the jaws.

I will try to get a pic soon. Some guy wants to buy some of my factory wheels so if the deal goes through maybe ill break into the old storage eariler than the wkend.

I promise guys dont give up I am a windshield man you can get them off with no tools. Push up and down on the wiper about 5 inches from the stud with someone prying up on the wiper by the stem. It will pop off.
