    Give the wiper arm a few good taps with your palm right at the pivot, thats usually enough to break them loose.

    Put a little spritz of WD-40 down the stud too.

    Those wipers have spline grooves so they can be a paint to pull off. Spray a little lub on the studs so that it seeps down to the grooves. You just have to wiggle it side to side as you're pulling straight up.
