Yes, just lift them off now. have done that on my parts car last weekend. The bolt in the middle is a cone type and has very small groves. So it sticks together very much. Used a big screwdriver and juggled it. Did not use a cloth on the tip of the screwdriver as it did not matter for the parts car paint, but I would recommend to out something around the screwdriver tip, maybe some tape.

That's the variable pressure arm design. Erich already said it -- pull and pull some more. About a month ago, I stuck arms and blades on a 540, only to have to take them off again because I'd forgotten to check linkage location. I'd synched the driver's down tight, because I've had the nut go loose on me on occasion, and that's not fun. I went to remove the driver's arm and I spent a good 5 minutes working away on it before it actually came off. Can't use a breaker bar because there's no leverage point. Plus, the location of the windshield makes it an accident prone repair. Put some ass into it.
Oh, and lift the blade section up to perpendicular with the windshield so that you're not fighting against the spring load.
best, whit
like shogun said..get screwdriver or similar and tap it into the gap to spread the arm a little to loosen its grip on the spindle.
When you put it back together the middle bolt should be only just seated,prolly need loctite it.The procedure is in bentley tho

Hey Paul, they pry off and never go back- best to get some more from the stealer prior to starting the job.
Yo Kriss, when you get some, buy two sets will you? I need some too!
Oh and btw; u need to go deeper when cleaning and get in behind the overflow tank to get to the e34 forest (where all kinda things grow). Its not hard, just be careful with everything (hardest part is finding where Hannes hid all the fasteners on the firewall)
