Windshield wiper blade replacement

Ok….I surrender. How do I get the wiper blade assembly off the wiper arm? I’m guessing there is a release inside the place where the arm connects to the blade?

These are on a 56 F100 by the way if that’s helpful.

Looks like a "Dipped End" wiper arm. They look like this:



While pushing the blade in the direction of the arrow, rotate the blade off the end.

Edit: After much thought, I went and tried it. It doesn't always work like that. If you insert a small screwdriver and slightly pry at the arrow below, while rotating it off, it always works.

Thanks! I figured there was something hiding in that part of the blade. I appreciate the help.

I looked and shopped at all the local auto retailers. Finally ordered from Obsolite is OKC. Dang they fit. The screw driver trick is as old as our trucks. That was my job as a 12 year old my set I bought fromOKC has tri co spelled that way. Overseas repop I guess. But nice blades. AJ
