noob question, how to remove windshield wiper blade?

Sup guys I'm trying figure out how to replace my wiper blades itself. I'm about to order new blades cuz Its been 2 years now and I haven't changed it yet =/
I took it off from the car but now I'm not sure how to slide the blades off. Can somebody tell me how? I tried searchin the forum for the DIY but don't think their is one.
Be much appreciated!

usually you replace the whole frame and blade, not just the rubber blade. Hope this answers your question. Sounds like you have what you need off, just buy a new one and snap it on.

The ends of the entire blade frames are just flexible rubber caps so what I did was just pull them up a little with my finger. Then the rubber blade can just be slid out and the refill slid in. Just go slow so you don't damage the flexible rubber end cap.

For easier removal, instead of your fingers, use a pair of needle nose pliers to grab hold of the wiper blade insert on one end and pull it out. You don't need to replace the whole thing - OEM wiper blade insert refills are ~$20 for the pair at the dealer and I think they work great!
