I tried to pull the passenger wiper off also. It's on there pretty tight. I'm thinking the only way to get it off, after pulling the nut, is to use a puller (gear puller).

I also removed the plastic cover around the fresh air intake to look at the linkages. Nothing was bent and no worn bushings that I could tell. So for now it stays.
