hey everybody... i just bought some rain-X Latitude wiper blades and i want to take off my wiper arms to paint them...they are a little rusted and dull...I'm sure that there is a right way to remove them...can anyone help me?? Thanks in advanced!!!

pop the cover at the base take off the nut and pull them off note position of the arm first though

You may need a little puller tool to get them off of the mount once you loosen the nut. A cheap/easy one I always have used is a battery terminal puller, small but just big enough to get a wiper arm off.

This also reminds me I need to pull my rear wiper arm and re-align it, the PO took it off once and never got it back straight lol

thanks guys i thank you for your help!!

no, you unbolt the wiper, then you bend it up "like when you wash your car" and then pull it out. you cant pull it out just by pulling it while its on the window, the pressure is going the other way because of the design of the wiper's elbow bend gives opposite pressure.
