So how the heck do the windshield wipers come off????

I went to repair the crimp on the J16 connector on my 2005 95, and in order to remove the back panel cover, one needs to remove the wipers....ummmm....I understand they are on a splined shaft...so I got a puller and fiddled with that for over an hour. The bottom of the wiper arm that fits over the shaft is slightly curved and the 'feet' of the puller keep slipping off the arm.
Even when I managed to put a strap around the 'legs' of the puller and tighten the screw, the puller slipped sideways.
I then tried the brute force with a prybar underneath and could not budge the arm.
So,....what is the secret????
I sprayed the shaft with PBBlaster and hoping that helps things.....Other suggestions most welcome.
