I just want to know if there's something odd you have to do in order to remove the windshield wiper arms on a 71 bus? I removed the bolts on top but they still seems firmly attached. I assume they are just stuck due to time but I didn't want to tear something up if there's something else to do. Thanks!

They may be kept on by the pressure of the wiper against the window. Flip the wipers up and try to gently ease them off.
