Default Need guidance on replacing 2005 Accord wiper blades

I looked in the manual and there is a procedure that I don't quite understand, but maybe I just have to reread a few times. It describes a process for replacing the rubber blades. Some questions:

1. Are there better instructions online somewhere?
2. Where do I get replacement blades? Checking online at Honda part vendors, I just see replacement blades and holders (the metal springy frame the blades go into), which at $20 each seems an expensive way to go compared to just replacing the blades.

I see this "insert" offered but it seems to be just one size. Do I cut to fit or does it just fit? Is that all I need? http://www.hondapartsdeals.com/produ...a-wiper-insert

I'm grateful for any advice. Thanks.

unless those are the stock wiper blades that came on the car in 2005 then you can't just replace the rubber. as for cost of holders being 20 each yes at first they are a little expensive compared to base model disposable blades but not to the top model bow style blades which cost the same if not more. after a year they would pay for themselves.

I've gone to Autozone, seen a display of wiper blades, but can't tell which ones to buy. There is no guidance.
