Default Wiper Arm

So I'm trying to get my windshield wiper off.. I took off the nut holding it down, but I can't seem to the f***. I tried MANY different ways to pry it off, which ended in me breaking some of that plastic trim below it. Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of any tools I can get to take this thing off?

Thanks

I had the same problem just this weekend. Bought a 'wiper puller' for $12. Worked great! When you use it, make sure you just loosen the nut a few turns. Do not take it off. This is to ensure you do not ruin the thread when you use the puller. When the wiper arm gets loose, you can then take the nut off and it will re-thread the bolt.

Got it from Advance Auto Parts. Came in handy especially since I've been reading up and just found out I'll need to get the wipers off to get to the ECU. Bought the car just last Thursday and already put 400 miles on it over the weekend. Fun car!!!
