Default Wiper arm issues

Ok so I thought I had this fixed but nope I was wrong. I need a new wiper arm now because the little metal piece that holds that spring in place is shot. Does anyone have a temporary solution to my no spring problem until I can get that arm? How do I get the darn thing off (the arm I mean)? Also how much can I expect to spend on it?
