Hoping someone can help me with my wiper arms. I put the wiper arms on, and I need to adjust the "at rest" position. Is there an easy way to get the arm sockets disengaged from the gear? I tried pulling the little tab out, but nothing will budge and I don't want to bend or break anything.

And I'm also thinking that when the arm sockets are fully seated, the tab should lock below the shoulder of the gear, correct? (Where I have the awl pointed.)

Note: I read a separate post about a special tool that could help, but I'm hoping that there is another way with the tools I already have.

Thanks!
