Depends on whether you are trying to replace the entire wiper assembly or just the rubber blade itself.



Many wiper arms have a hook at the end and you push the wiper toward the base of the wiper arm instead of pulling away from it.



To get just the rubber blade out I normally use pliers to bend one of the metal tabs on either side of the blade, at the end of the blade closest to the base of the arm, and slide the support band out. The blade will almost fall out without either one of the support bands. Then you slide the replacement back in.



The easiest was is to go to Autozone, Advance Auto, etc and they'll change them for you for free.Need some help changing my windshield wipers?
make it easy on yourself, get a tin snips or a wire cutters and cut off the old ones (do not cut the pole it sits on)



The wipers pull straight off of the post (that is 90 degrees from the wiper arm)



I once bent the arm trying to remove the wiper... look at the new wiper and see the center hole... that is the separation point.



cut it off and save yourself time



the new one snaps right back on that pole (it is about an inch or so long)
