Default How to remove windshield wiper arms?
How do you remove the windshield wiper arms from an F-body?

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

Somebody's gotta know!

Thanks!

Have you pulled the cover up from the arm to expose the nut?

Yep, did that and tried to pull the arm upward off of the bolt, but it wouldn't budge.

Currently, the car is parked because I bent my shift fork. But I did it while owning a 550rwhp '03 Cobra, so I'm not complaining.
