I'm assuming you just pull them straight off, but they aren't coming. I just wanted to verify, or see if anybody had any suggestions before I got down and dirty with them.

how to removed the wiper arms?
- Thread starter solowookie

Are you talking about removing the entire linkage? If so, you need to disconnect them from the wiper arm motor. I believe a 10mm socket and a 1/4" racthet and extension should do the trick.
Don't remove the nuts all the way, just make them both loose.

There is a little clip thing on the underside that releases the arm from the splined end. Believe it or not GM makes a special tool for wiper arm removal...
I bent the tip of an old flat blade screwdriver which seems to work OK as long as the arm isn't 'frozen' onto the splined end.

When I painted my K5 couple years ago I pulled the arms off.. They were stuck. I just used a flat tip screw driver and worked around the base of the arm that mounts to the splined ends.Took some energy,and some pulling to get them off...

thanks guys - I'll have to try that in the morning Rene, or go see if the local bodyshop will lend me their wiper removal tool.
With the right tool, they will usually yank right off. Lisle makes one that's pretty cheap. Most parts stores carry 'em.
