The cover over the area where it pivots will open up and there is a nut beneath it. Remove the nut and soak the stud with penetrating oil. Use a 2 jaw puller and remove the arm from the stud.

Google or search eBay for "Wiper Arm Removal Tool". You'll find a ~$10 tool for pulling wiper arms off the motor shaft.

Here's one eBay listing: Windscreen Window Wiper Arm Removal Remover Tool Glass Mechanics Puller Car | eBay

Use a little PB Blaster or WD40, tighten the puller on the wiper arm, then tap it gently a few times and the arm will pop off the tapered motor shaft.

Yes, and well worth the ~$10 investment. At first, I tried a 2 jaw puller, but the jaws are too beefy to fit the narrow gap under the wiper arm. This wiper removal tool has a thin foot which slides easily under the wiper arm.
