How do I change my wiper blades?

I have recently bought a (new to me) Winnebago and am super happy to join the team! It is an old 2000 but still in great shape.

However, there are a million things I don't know about it. Including how to change the wiper blades. They look like I have to unbolt them from the arm (as opposed to snap off), but it also appears the washer fluid line is connected to the bolt and I don't want to mess it up.

Any help would be appreciated. And if you have a 2000 Adventurer 35B, I would LOVE to hit you up with some questions from time to time.

On my 2002 Journey, the wiper blades bolt on to the arm. The windshield washer tube and jet stay on the arm, They do not have to be removed. I just replaced mine, but the washer jets were messed up, so I replaced both arm assy's as well which came with new washer jets and tubes. They are expensive.

I JUST replaced my inserts. Bought 24" silicone rubber inserts from Amazon for $4.99 each with free shipping (Prime member). They make them in 28" too. Carefully pulled out the old inserts, removed the two steel stiffeners from each old wiper (the new wipers are molded and look just like the old ones, so there's slots for the stiffeners) and than reinserted them in the new wipers with tape wrapped around them to hold them in place for a few seconds until I inserted them into the J clamps on each arm up to the tape, removed the tape, continued until the prongs snapped into place.

So for $10, had a new set of wipers for my Winnie. Without wasting the entire metal arm. At that price, I can afford to replace them every year...but since I've used these before, doubt that will be necessary.

Here's the link to the inserts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
