Wiper Blade Replacement

Ok, almost embarrassed to ask this one as someone who considers himself to be quite 'savvy' with things mechanical. I have decided that it's time to treat the 330 to a new set of wiper blades. I have checked which wiper blades I need - I need the old type (the fitting changed in 2009 and although a LCI car I have the old type fittings). However, how do you get the old ones off? At the front, I guess I need to get the cover off the fitting, but no manner of pulling seems to get it off, I don't want to break it, so is it just a case of 'brute force'?
Turning to the rear, I can't see any obvious way of getting the blade off and again 'brute force' seems to have little effect.

On the underside of the cover you will see two tabs, squeeze these together and the cover should pull off. They cost about £2 if i remember correctly from when some toe-rag stole my wipers!

You need 1x24" & 1x19". Get them from www.wiperblades.co.uk I have used them in the past and found them to be very good, quick to deliver and far cheaper than Halfrauds or Stealers.
