Default Wiper removal

How do I get the windshield wipers off? I removed the nuts from the top of the wipers but they are still stuck on there and will not budge. There has to be a trick to it? Thanks in advance.

I had to buy a battery terminal puller and it came right off. It was only 3.00. Good luck.

I used a large flat blade screwdriver and a couple of rags to protect the finish. Oh and a little patience. Good luck!

Just wiggle them up and down at the joint and they will come right off pretty easy....

Cajun: Run your wipers up onto the windshield first then shut them off "mid-wipe". Mark their position with some masking tape on the windshield. Getting the right position when re-installing is easy.

To avoid putting stress on the wiper arm shaft, I would use a small puller. There are special pullers made for this, or as already mentioned, you can use an old style top post battery terminal puller.
