Pull the wiper arms away from the car so they are at a 90 degree angle with the windsheild. then slant the wipers so they are paralell with the windshield. next push the wipers tword the windshield and they should pop off.

you could also buy new ones at autozone and they install them for you.

OK look at wair the arm meats the motor assembely you should see a metel clip like thing hanging from the arm. pull it away from the arm and the arm should pull off. FYI it is hard to realign the arm back onto the motor. keep trying until it goes into the right thread.

before you do what blue stang said, put the wiper arm in the up position...like you were cleaning your windshield and you had the arms poped up. then pull the pin twards you and they will pull right off.

you dont need to realign them perfect, just get it near where it was and youll be fine.

thanks amrcnidyot for catching what I left outIt is important to align them in the same spot. I removed them when painting the hood and If you dont align them in the same spot, the wipers will sit about an inch higher than before. beleve me you don't whant to look like a dork with your wipers half way up your windsheild. wipers aren't advanced enough to realighn themselves. that stincks that thay don't.

no problem, i just remember that i had that problem when i went to take mine off. and yea get them aligned right, actually i would try to make them as low as you possibly can so that they dont stick up as much. mine are about a half an inch lower than stock.
