I'm trying to replace the lower windshield weatherstrip and after removing the plastic cap and the nut from the wiper arm, the sucka won't budge ? Is there something i'm missing ?

I removed mine a while back. Ended up using a small puller that is designed for batt cables. Some guys just keep wiggling them til they come off. HTH

I would buy a small puller before I would start putting too much force on the wiper arm posts. It could bend something or break the drive mechanism.
There is even a special puller made just for wiper blades. It is one piece with two feet that slip under the arm, and a screw with a **** on top to push the shaft out.

Like this.

Any type of small puller will work if you can fit it under the arm.
