Quick question. I am running a system in my car. Supposedly under the wiper cover there is a hole through the firewall to push the power cable through. When Removing the wiper arm there is a nut. If you remove that do you just pull up on the wiper arm to get it off or is there something else. If all you do is pull up then mine is on there pretty freakin good.

Just pull up after removing the nut. Try spraying some "Power Lube". You may want to use the wiper removal tool ($8) from Autozone or Advance.
 
I always have good luck if I flip the wiper to the up position before i pull on it. And then if its still giving my grief I use a large wrench to do a little prying. If you end up prying make sure you place a wadded up rag or something under the wrench to protect the glass, plastic, paint you may pry against.

Also try some light tapping with the same large wrench was you pull up, the vibration often will kick it loose.
 
put a balled up rag near it and pried it off with a screwdriver. Was on there pretty damn good let me tell you.
