No tools required. Look online how to remove Volkswagen wiper arm. The first time I did mine I was a bit kerfuffled.

Basically, lift the wiper blade away from the windshield and then wiggle the base until it comes off.

Try using a heat gun or even a hair dryer. Ran into the same problem too easy to scratch the hood of the car using a puller.

I used compressed air to clean the plenum. Lots of small leaves blew out. Wear a dust mask. A vacuum cleaner can't get into all the spaces. Once done run clearwater through to make sure they are draining. I don't remember seeing the specific location of the drains.

The design/ engineering department scratched their heads; where do we put all these important modules and wires. Why not put them in the recessed area where all the water from the windshield goes. The same department came up with the plastic vacuum lines. Well, looks good on paper.
