windscreen wipers?

how do i take off the windscreen wiper not just the blade the hole arm

with nut removed,pull wiper away from screen [like when washing car] then give it a good wiggle side to side-this usually releases it.

Pull away the plastic cover at the base of the arm, and undo the nut. Now the next stage depends if your luck is in or not....the arm may pull straight off with slight leverage from a screwdriver (protecting the paintwork or plastic of course) or you may have to resort to buying a small puller from Laser tools or similar. The trouble is, the fixing is tapered, and the arm which is made from aluminium, cuts its own spline onto the wiper boss - which sometimes means shifting them is hellish difficult.
