Wiper Arm Removal

Hey guys, I was trying to remove the 2 wiper arms to repaint it, but I cant seem to get it off after removing the black cap n nut. Is there like special way of removing it? I thought it would be easy removing them but they wont budge.

If your gonna "pry" anything off, be careful. You could easily damage the plastic peices around that.

I know that they have been removed lately, like a week ago by the dealership to reseal the whole windshield cuz of a leak.

should easily come off. Once you remove the cap, you remove the nut and remove the wiper arm.

Got it off, already painted, n back on. Tho I over painted n there was these lil things that looked like cracks.

Oh well, I'll fix it up next time, I got enough paint fumes for a while. Plus I remounted my driver side wiper arm 1 spot higher b/c everytime I pull it up when Im washing my car or for whatever the reason, the wipers hit the passenger wiper arm.
