flip the black cap up that covers the bolt and take the bolt off. Pull hard on the arm to dis-engage the wiper arm from the spindle.

sorry NUT, not bolt. I get my nuts and bolts mixed up.

mine did the same thing. I sanded them, wrapped the base with masking tape, and put newspaper all over the rear windsheild. Obviously take off the blade. But I was careful and painted it in a couple minutes. I forgot about it till now cause it looks great!
