How do I remove the windshield wipers

I took off the little rubber caps, took off the nut underneath, but was lost on what to do next.. they wouldn't budge.

Flip up the spring part that you normally flip up to clean the winshield so that the spring isn't putting pressure against the glass, then gently wiggle the arm and it will come loose.

Try a little WD-40 if you can't get them off. Mine were rusty but I got lucky and they popped right off. Good luck.

I'll try tomorrow, got dark out all of a sudden. I had a busy day with her today doing other things.. did the alternator wiring upgrade, swapped out for a jdm hood badge, and washed her. Reason I'm taking off the wipers is so I can repaint them black because they're rusty. She's getting a nice little makeover

Now how do I take off the rear one?

The nut is in the same place, but rather than the rubber plug covering it, there is a plastic sheath that hinges over that section of the arm. You'll figure it out when you see it....
