Trick for windshield wipers? I've been "dieting" my car the past couple of days and I can not get the damn wipers off for the life of me.
What is the trick. I've removed the nuts and can't get the damn things off.
PS--Its cool to move the rear-sway bar too right?

You sure? What happens if you don't have one at all?
And you caught me, the AIR comes off today
I also don't have a scale, but will definitly be hunting one down once all this **** is off

I will do a carpet swap for some light stuff eventually.
I'm gonna take off the rear support, but I want the front for peace of mind

Wiper removing Get a pair of channel lock pliers and the nut from the arm.
Place the nut on the wiper shaft just so the top threads are in the nut and turn the channel locks so the flat blade is on the top of the nut and the curved blade is on the bottom of the wiper arm and squeeze the pliers together.
You may have to go from side to side but it will work.

radio still works fine with just the door speakers 
Easiest way is loosen the nuts until they are on only a couple threads, pull up on the arm with one hand and tap the top of the nuts with a small hammer, pop right off everytime - just dont miss
If not just get a battery terminal puller from a parts store..

No they are a pain to pull off. You got lucky.
