You may need a little puller tool to get them off of the mount once you loosen the nut. A cheap/easy one I always have used is a battery terminal puller, small but just big enough to get a wiper arm off.
This also reminds me I need to pull my rear wiper arm and re-align it, the PO took it off once and never got it back straight lol -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

no, you unbolt the wiper, then you bend it up "like when you wash your car" and then pull it out. you cant pull it out just by pulling it while its on the window, the pressure is going the other way because of the design of the wiper's elbow bend gives opposite pressure.
