I am doing the same job. I removed the nuts holding each wiper but they didn't want to budge. I was a bit concerned about pulling too hard as I did not want to damage the wipers.

Do they just pull off after removing the nut or am I missing something??

Any trick to removing the remove cabin air plenum chamber or it is pretty straight forward??

Thanks for the help!!!

the wipers are onto a splined shaft . generally you need to pull the wipers up off the window to release the spring tension that is present when they are on the window . then place fingers under part of wiper that sits on splines and apply pressure until wiper slips off shaft . take care of your fingers .
having said all that , i have no idea as to why you want to remove the wipers , if you just need new rubbers then that is easy to do .
