Wiper Blade Removal?

Okay, here is a dumb one - How do you get the Trico wiper blades OFF of the wiper arm assembly? I know that they snap in place, but is there a release pin somewhere to get them off?

wiper blade removal

you insert a flat bladed screwdriver between the spring in the centre pivot and apply pressure to the spring to release the wiper from the pivot pin.

quite fiddly but it will release.

FINALLY, I got it ! Placing the screw driver on the center spring did the trick. One was stuck, but a little oil on the spring and it came right off. Thanks for your help.
