are you upgrading to the LS1 style wiper arms?
Anyways, I think that just after that bolt they should slide off the spline shaft, but I havent taken them off the TA only my other cars

Ok autozone looked at me like I was retarded when I asked for the tool they didnt have it. I cant even fit a hack saw to the screws either. They will not come off.

You don't need a special tool but they are a pain in the ***. I usually wiggle them up and down, I move the whole arm up and down, it seems to make it a little easier.
Yeah they always **** me off when I have to take mine off, just spray some wd-40 in there and try to muscle them off.

Just dont pry against the windshield, they are easy to crack.

Exactly, you just have to wiggle them around with some WD40 in there because they are an interference fit. If your careful with a small prybar you can do it that way, just not against the windshield or hood!

My buddy had a hard time with his... They had never been removed before, making them a PIA... "PB blaster, let sit overnight, PB again, sit for an hour or so... Then pry like hell." <-- Exactly what he said to do
Good luck
