Wiper arm removal

[kdog]

Does anyone have a reference for the removal and reinstallation of the front wiper arms? I need to replace my front cowl so they have to come off. I know I should use a pulley puller to get them off to prevent breakage. What about removing the cover to get to the bolt, torque when tightening, etc.?

Haven't found anything in the forum on the front but did find this. Not sure if it helps. How to remove rear wiper arm?
Good luck and please report back. Thanks.

I have a shop manual for 16-17 that says 22 lb ft. The 11 probably isn't that different. The cover should just pry open.

My wiper assembly is making a clunking sound, so I'll be taking a look at it in the next few weeks, I'll report any of my findings here for reference.

I replaced the cowl today and it was super easy. The bolt cover is a simple plastic piece that just pulls off. The pulley puller did the trick to get the wiper blades off easily and the rest was just unscrew and pull the plastic retainer pins and swap the piece. I think I need to make all of the clips are in still as it's not totally flush but that's easy. Thanks for the help!
