Hi A,
FIRST POST!!!! Welcome!
You MUST tell us a bit about your car and post a picture or two.
Along with Mel's advice you may want to look for the small tool that's available to aid in removing the wiper arm from the transmision shaft. It depresses the prong that retains the arm to the shaft.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

There is a tool for removing wiper arms; worth the cost. The release tab can otherwise be hard to get to. The assembly instruction manual (AIM) explains how the arms were set and adjusted on the assembly lne.
Congrats on the 78.
