Believe it or not it just pulls off.

When the nut is tightened on it pushes it on to the spline which tapers out the further it goes down.

Good luck

I removed mine when upgrading to an aero wiper, mine was also stuck pretty firm! I used a screwdriver to prize it off with thin bits of wood to protect the plastic and paint. Work from two opposite sides to 'wiggle' it off.

Oh and wd40 :)
