1st you have to lift the cover that is over the base. It can be very tight but after a little work you will get it to come up. They you can undo the bolt, or screw I forget which it is. then just be care full because they are pressed on and will take a smooth and straight up tug to get off. I don't think that I left anything out, but if I did some one feel free to correct me.

There is a 13mm nut per side that has to come off

A small, cheap battery cable puller can save the day...they have 3 feet, and the feet are plastic coated.

The covers can be tight, I agree, but you can manage it. As for pulling the wipers off, you have to rock them back and forth to get them off. The service manual suggests this I believe. Do not loose patience. Slow and steady. It will come off.
Be careful with the Valence-cowl (as it is called in the manual). When you get it off, you may notice a sticker on the back side of it from when they put the car together. Just one of the fun things that you will find when doing maintenance on the vehicle.
For replacement, remember to put the drivers side on top of the passenger side wiper, otherwise they will hit during operation. Just a hint.

Mark the wiper position with masking tape on the windshield.

When I put mine back on a couple days ago, I couldn't remember which went on top and had to look at old pictures of my car to see
