    Could they be seized on to the spindle?

    Try spray on some freeing oil and leave for a while for it to work.

    Are you trying to change the blades or do you need the wiper arm off?

    I'd say it has just seized on. Some freeing oil applied should free it and a little bit of force.

    Have you removed the cap from it or is that the nut? It just looks like a cover. Sorry if you think that a silly question but I've seen people stumped by that before

    looking at that photo it does not seem to be the wiper arm but some linkage usually the arm has a cap that swivels up to reveal a nut that must bt removed then the arm will need a little levering up to come loose as it is pushed down on a splined shaft by the nut , a squirt of wd 40 when the nut is removed would help
