there is only one nut on each wiper arm (it's where wiper arm connects to the body). On one wiper arm that nut is under plastic cover.

Open the hood and you will see.

When you'll be tighten arm - hold wiper arm with your hand so it wouldn't move.

check your local junk yard. i had to replace mine cuz of vadalism. parts stores won't have 'em. Hyundai dealerships probably would but it would be too much money.

next time don't tighten too much, Hercules!!

Check if that side wiper works at all!

Remove arm, turn on the wipers (be careful not to cratch your windsield if another wiper is withoug blade) and see if the bolt that should hold the arm moves.
