You have to "tilt"the arm away from the windshield using the hinge on the arm.You should be able to "rock" the arm end off the wiper pivots.If not you may have to try and get some WD-40 or similar into it and let it soak a day or so.

There may be a small clip on the back of the attach point of the wiper arm . If so you need to pry that back before it will move. WD 40 it a bit and it should work.

You are the man!!!!!Smile Took a small mirror and looked at the underside.......small tang that needs to be pulled back as you pull/wiggle arm off. Came off easy!!!! Thanks to everyone~~~~~RonCool
