On this particular model, I was able to remove the wiper arm by doing the following:
At the base of the arm itself where the arm is attached to the spindle, there is a cover. Taking a flat screwdriver pop off the cover exposing a retaining nut. Remove the nut and with a slight twisting motion the arm will become loose and can be pulled off of the spindle. Taking the new arm, simply place the arm down on the spindle and tighten the retaining nut back into place and put the plastic cover back on.
On a side note, I found it easy on realigning the new arm by taking the blade off of the old one, and placing it on the new one. When I put the arm back on the window, the blade lined up with the spot where it was previously. By tightening the bolt back down, it pulled the arm back onto the spindle in place.

How do you change the wiper assembly on a 1998 Ford F-150?
Remove the grill around the wipers, make sure to get all the screws, some are hard to find, but when you get all the screws the grill lifts off and exposes the wiper assembly. Remove wiper arms, nuts are under a cap at the base of the wiper arm. Unplug the electric assembly. Remove all mounting bolts from the wiper assembly and it will lift out. This works for a 2000 f150 so it is probably the same for 1998.
