The main wiper arms were easy to remove. At first, removing these last bits had me stymied - the service manual mentioned a special tool to get these bits out. But Ernie (my Merc-lovin' neighbor) said "meh, just use some pliers" - so I did. Suckers came out easy enough. *bonk!*

With those two parts removed, the motor mount and attached hardware came out easily.
