DO NOT pry on them with anything!!! You will break your windshield.. There is a write up floating around somewhere.. There is like 6 bolts you have to undo.. If you just get down in there and look around you will see them. After you get the bolts just wiggle them around till they slide out.
I will see if I can find the write up if you can't..

you need a wiper removal tool. The wiper arm needs to be pressed off. I have the tool at my house if you want to stop by and use it. Just give me a call.

I used this when I did mine.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/10761608-post11.html

Did not look to see if this one is any different, might have some other info in it might be same post. https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...oval-pics.html

You can't be a girl about pulling them off, but be careful with them. PB blaster works wonders.. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes and then try to pull them off, I rocked mine back and forth a little bit and they came off pretty easily.

Yea, I looked for quite a while and never found any. It is really kind of self explanatory though. I just read 1 step-went out and did it. Came back in read another step-went out and did it. Pretty simple honestly. 15 minute job taking your time to make sure you don't break anything (even though you are past that point).
