To remove the arm, take off the nut that holds it to the shaft. Lift the arm up to releive presure on the shaft and then pull. They should come off no problem. When I repainted mine, they were no problem.

Try wiggling the base of the arm off the shaft or some penetrant, it should come off.

thanks alot i will.....i tried putting the spring back on but the clip it hangs onto looks like it was welded to the arm and broke off. i guess i need to replace the whole arm now

That would probably be the best thing to do. If the clip did actually break off. A new arm is cheap anyway.
