Removing stock blades?

Hey guys. I wanna put some winter blades on my car but I'm having trouble getting the stock ones off. I pull the arm up, turn the blade and it doesn't go too far, don't wanna force it. I don't see a tab or anything like that found on other blades. If someone could give me a tip for getting these off, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I just changed mine on my Matrix and at first had the same trouble.If they're the same, there is a little tab that flips open allowing the wiper arm 'hook' to slide through the blade so you can get it off.

the Tab that flips out is not on the inside of the hook (like replacement blades) but it's facing you as you look at the blades
