How do I get the arms off to do that? I can't even find the parts online to replace them. They look really bad and I am afraid they may BE bad and snap off due to corrosion.

Remove nut from each arm, then with heel of your palm, rap the sshort heavy section of the arm just out from the stud, and this will break the grip of the splines to the arm body (taper fit)... then lift arm off stud. Rear needs a 10mm box wrench, be carefull, only a 6mm thread, when tightening, just snug it good, no major torque there needed.
