I have some new OEM blades coming from Rock Auto, and looking at the rear one it wasn't real obvious how it came off. A rod on the blade assembly clips into the arm, and the manual seems to say you can just pull the blade assembly out. Maybe I'm too weak but it didn't want to come out for me just by pulling on it.
I found this video that suggests putting a screwdriver into the gap and using it as a lever, then squeezing on the blade. I tried that and it worked, the blade popped right out of the clip in the arm. I was just wondering if anyone else had tried that or had any other suggestions.

Thanks, I'll give it another pull or a push, but that thing is on there really tight.
I'll use the screwdriver lever method as a backup.
