How do u replace the rear wiper blade?

[mountainbiker]

Ok, it is dark, raining, my fingers are dripping with blood and this hangover doesn't help. How the heck do you replace that (complete) rear wiper blade. This one attached has this arrow (pointing to the left) that gives the illusion you are to slide something. Your guidance in the "trick" to remove this thing would be gratefully appreciated.

i used vise grips, pull the arm back and attach vise grips to the SHAFT of the wiper arm where it attaches to wiper motor. pull and wiggle it will come off.

there is a little tab on the shaft. You just push it in it pull strait off.

It's 12:19am; otherwise, I'd going searching for the tab. Do you need a screw driver to depress the tab? Is this what the arrow might be pointing to? Any characteristics or other details that will let me know I am doing any correctly?

In the daylight, I pushed the screw driver into the hole, the tab/catch slide away from the pin, and it lifted right off. Excellent. Thanks for the insight. Made me feel very stupid...LOL.

I find using two screw drivers work well in removing it. One to pull the tab and one to pry the wiper arm away from the assembly.
