Taking the front windshild wipers off

can anyone tell me or show me how to take the passenger side wiper off? Trying to replace the whole arm....

I pulled the rubber thingy off and un-did the 14mm bolt. I tugged and pulled on the arm but it didn't come off. I ran out of time so I put it back together

Lift the wiper arm up like you are going to clean your window. Then just wiggle it out.

I tried that again yesterday for about 30 minutes and it still didn't come out. I figure it is settled in there with some rust/corrosion.

Gonna have to find another way....

there is a clip on it... when you have the wiper arm standing up, there is a clip on the inside towards the windsheild side of the arm. hold the clip down and push/pull the wiper down and it should come off with out a hitch.

That's what I kind of thought but I didn't see anything. I'll have to try that again. Thanks!

hold up... are you just replacing the blade or the WHOLE ASSEMBLY?

The previous posts are about the blade, to take the whole thing off, once you get the nut completely off, the whole arm should just wiggle off. If you are having a tough time, I would suggest getting a flat head screwdriver and using that to pry it off.
