Windshield Wipers get stuck

I had read somewhere on this forum that the fix is to remove the arm from the drive bolt and reinstall it 1 notch counterclockwise from the original position. After removing the nut from the wiper drive bolt I expected to see a splined drive bolt.
Instead there is a special bolt that has been cut flat on two sides and is threaded on the radius sides. The wiper arm will not slide off of the drive bolt, so I am needing to find out how to remove the arm from the bolt so that I can reposition it more counterclockwise on the drive bolt.
Does anyone know how to get wiper arm off the drive bolt?
Thanks

Have the same problem with my 2017 Hurricane 34j. Left it with camping world for a total of 6 weeks. They claimed to be working on it all that time. Needing parts blah blah BS. In the end they said the just tightened it up and said it was a Ford issue. I've come to expect no less from CW. Gotta find someone else to work on it. I'm finished with CW forever. Anyway, right now if I run it on low it's ok, but know it's just a matter of time.
