You have to open the hood to see the screws and clips mentioned above.
Once you take the nut off the wiper arms it takes a bit of effort to get off. It's a tapered fit. Sometimes lifting the arm and rocking back and forth works, other times a bit of leveraged upward force is needed.
I put fine screen on the underside of my cowl vents to keep leaves out
