Re: Removal of Wiper arms
There is a clip underneath where they mount to the stub sticking out of the cowl. Push the clip back and they will release. On mine I used one of those small right angle straight blade screwdrivers to release the clip, just make sure to put something under it as you pry so not to scratch or dent the cowl.

Re: Removal of Wiper arms
There is a special tool for prying the wiper blades off the splines without damaging the paint. About $10 from Amazon I think.

I wholeheartedly agree with this one. Dont try and mess with the clip you are just likely to mess something up if you are poking around there with a screw driver. It is a really simple tool that you can get that makes taking them on and off a snap (less than 30 seconds a blade). It is worth the money.
