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 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...

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.
