Default Wiper Arm Removal

Anyone have trouble removing the windshield wiper arms? I had a little trouble removing the driers side but the passenger side will not pop off. Is there a special tool available?

I had to let some WD40 soak over night and that allowed it to pop off. I lifted the blade portion and then rocked the base a bit. Popped right off.

I removed mine a while back to clean under the cowl trim. I left them in the park position, removed the plastic caps and nuts, hit them with a little PB Blaster and rocked them off.

Have you tried spraying them with something to help loosen them up?

Don't pry against the windshield, it breaks easily.
