So, I'm trying to get this thing off..and like most things on this truck it's giving me grief. I can see a little clip on the under side of the wiper near the (joint?) and I push up or pull down on the clip and nothing happens. Any other advice or tricks?

Try this, it might work if they are not stuck together by rust.

With a small screwdriver or hook pull on the small spring clip while wiggling and pulling on the arm. I have had to us another screw driver to gently pry.

Hope this helps.

There is a tool available at most parts stores that works pretty well. I got mine in the "Help" section of the store.

Otherwise, I have had to use a large screw driver to pry them off before getting the tool.

The problem with prying them off with a screw driver is that the cowl can be bent and the paint can be damaged.
