You have the right idea. Nuts removed, and take a small flat blade screwdriver and alternately wiggle under each side ot the wiper arm. It will come off but it's a PITA.

Yep, you can actually pull them off, but due to age, and the fact the haven't probably ever been off, you might want to try the screwdriver method. I know it was a PITA to get the ones off my Cavalier.

Try a small "jaw-type" puller. I'm talking the tiny ones they sell for removing battery cable clamps from the top-post batteries...
