2007 Rear Wiper Arm Removal

Does anyone know how to remove the rear wiper arm on a 2007 Expy? I found the retainer nut and removed it but still can't get the whole wiper arm to come off. I'm trying to replace the strike plate that's on the inside of the glass and can't completely remove it without taking off the whole rear wiper arm. Thanks so much! Bob
