    How do you remove wiper arms?

    Super simple thing, that i'm probably overcomplicating.

    Loosened the bolt under the cap...now what do i do?

    Thanks,

    Remove the nut from the bolt.
    Flip the arm into the up position (in the air, not on the windshield anymore).
    Pop it off.

    It may feel weird, like you're breaking something in the process but they just pop off.

        I know this is an old thread, but can someone clarify what bolt I need to remove? I cant see any type of bolt.

          No bolt. Pop the plastic cover off then loosen the nut holding the wiper arm on.

            The bolt jarvis was talking about is the splined post the arm sits on. So, as above.
