Changing Wiper Blades?

I want to change out my wiper blades on my 06 TL. I just bought the rubber replacement inserts from my Acura dealer. Is there any trick to doing this? I don't want to break the metal arms. I didn't see any "release" buttons to get the old rubber parts out. Do you simply grab and yank or is there a special technique? Thanks.

Thanks for the responses guys. I didn't think wiper blade replacement would be in the manual.

I also use the factory inserts- $5 each side @ Santa Monica Acura last year.
It's cheaper than getting even a new blade for a Bosch Icon or PIAA.
