Wiper **** frustration

Hey guys. I'm thinking my wiper **** is smarter than me...

Is there any specific tool to get this off my 73 f350? I have found in other threads that there is a 'spring' in the slot of the ****, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Is there an answer here in the forum? A video perhaps?

At the base of the **** is a little slot. Inside the slot is a little metal tab. You take something small like a seal pic or even a paperclip that has a little hook bent into the end of it. You take the hook and place it behind the tab and pull towards you while pulling on the ****. In the video...I really wouldn't use the knife.

I've got a set of 'O' ring picks and I use the 90 degree pick for pulling the wiper ****.

Maybe because your previous owners got as frustrated as I was trying to get it off.
