Lacking the sophistication of most, I have successfully used a claw hammer and a old T shirt. Probably pulled 50 sets of wipers that way. Most on junkers, but also on good cars.

Unless they are missing, each wiper arm has a little tab that has to be pulled back. If they have been off before those may be missing. Vice grips and shop rags work.(most of the time)

Same here. Pulled almost as many as Andre using a long screwdriver or whatever I could to get leverage and a thick T shirt or thick towel. Never chipped the paint, even on expensive show car paint jobs.
