I replaced my black plastic cowl trim and had no problem removing either wiper arm.

I imagine I opened the hood and maybe even moved it a bit from full open, but didn't disconnect the shocks.

1/4 drive socket equipment is smaller ...

I can get the nut off the stud. I can't get the arm off the stud, it seems it's press fit on. I used a puller to pull the passenger side off and it popped off with some force. I tried to manhandle the drivers side to no avail. Don't want to break the stud or the window.

the wiper arm hole is tapered, so when you press it in it sticks real good.
try to spray some penetrating oil and let it sit for a day.
that might make it more cooperative, so you could pull it by hand.
