Wiper arm removal?

Hey all,

I'm about to replace my plastic lower windshield cowl/trim. Does removal of the wiper arms require a puller? If so, which type?

Help appreciated,
Thanks,
John

Loosen the 13 mm nut holding the arm in place, take a pair of pliers and put one side under the arm and the other side on top off the stud and squeeze. Arm shoud pop right off. No puller needed.

Thanks man, I'll try that first. If it doesn't work, nothing will be hurt, but I'd imagine leaving the nut on top of the stud will prevent thread damage.
