I just did mine last weekend...its wicked easy. Here are the steps

1. Pop the cover at the base of each arm with a small flathead screwdriver, exposing a nut.
2. Unscrew the nut using a 14mm socket wrench.
3. Pop the hood and rock the arm while pulling up (don't be afraid to pull too hard...they are in there pretty good)
4. Do the same in reverse order to get them back on...just make sure that when you put them back on you align them properly and you will have nice new looking wipers.

You also may want to consider sanding down the rough parts where the paint has chipped....and only use flat black paint which is $2.99 at Autozone.

Mine had spots where the raw metal was exposed and it seemed to chip off. Just sanded it down a little and if you look really close you can still see where it chipped...but i think i am the only one that will know that. After 2 coats of spraypaint...they look OEM brand new. You may want to consider replacing the blades while youre at it...unless youve done it recently.

^ well, he is selling it. So it would be kind of pointless to put on new blades.

He said he is getting around to selling it. Just a thought...
