I've purchased a new short arm for my wiper linkage but I cannot detach the old one from the motor.
What the heck am I doing wrong

I do not think you are doing anything wrong, but sometimes they do need a little brute strength to release the ball and cup joints .... I resume that the other end has failed! just try levering it up off the ball this article on the web site MIGHT help a little ..

Yeah, brute strength it was. Got the new linkage on and it's working a treat.
You know how it is with us Scots: scared to use too much force incase something else breaks and we have to fork out for another broken part...
Thanks.
