Default Rear Wiper Arm Removal

I need a little help as my rear wiper arm got broken off in the car wash. I’ve watched a few videos indicating that there should be a plastic cap that comes off but I don’t think that is the case with mine. It looks like there is a small metal clip that is keeping it in place. I tried that without success. I have attached photos and any help in how to get this off to attach the new wiper arm would be appreciated.

See that little metal tang on the second picture? Grab it with a part of pliers and bend it away from from the shaft. Once you do that you should be able to grab what's left of the wiper arm with pliers and wiggle it off. If its frozen on there you may need to prys it off with a screwdriver between the wiper arm base and nut that holds the bezel and seal on.

Also, I noticed like mine, your bezel is broken. You can spend a small fortune for a new one (unless you get lucky and find one cheap) or you can order these
Amazon Amazon
and drill out the hole from the outside with a 3mm drill and expoxy a piece of that brass pipe in place cut to size.
