Default !wipers?

How do you remove the windshield wipers from an F-body?

I looked at it, tried a couple of things, but couldn't get them off.

Thanks!

you've got to get some sort of puller. at the base of the wiper, you pull a little plastic cap off. underneath that is where the arm is fastened to the car. you have to get a puller and use it to separate the arm from the rest of the car. i've done it before, and it isn't very easy. kinda stupid too, rainx doesn't work well with mist.

Like tuffluck said, snap the little cover off the base of the arm, then loosen the 1/2" nut, after that you just have to pull the arm off the bolt. This is the hardest part, you'll probably have to use a battery terminal puller that you can buy at most autopart store for about $4. I have my wipers off all the time, unless I'm taking a trip somewhere.
