i think i have a bad wiper arm, how do i remove it?

Ive got a 02 tls and the passenger side wiper arm wont go up anymore. I removed the cap covering the bolt for the wiper arm and its turning so I'm assuming that the motor is fine and the arm needs to be replaced.

I just cant figure out how to take the arm off. I've removed the one bolt but the thing wont slide up or budge at all. How do I do this?

Check out the link below. I think all you have to do is jiggling it.

ok i jiggled it and it came out. it looks like the "teeth" below the threads for the cover bolt are stripped. What part do I need to replace to change that?

Also, it looks like the the "teeth" that are in the wiper arm are stripped too. Looks like I will definitely need a new wiper arm but I'm not sure what part to get for the stripped teeth below the threads for the wiper nut.

This is a parts breakdown. You need part#10.

I don't know what is involved in installing it.

If the splines on both are stripped out you may need part #10.
