How do you change the wiper strips?

I picked up new wiper strips at the dealer and I'm wondering if there is a trick to installing them?

I see there are metal clips on either end of the wipers but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put a screwdriver up under them and pry them off, or if there is an easy release that I'm missing.

are you replacing the wiper "blade" or the entire blade and assembly? usually you can just pinch the two together and slide it out for the blade, as for the assembly just pinch where it connects to the control arm.
