As prescribed, lubrication was the key.

All the 'arm' joints were working fine, the problem was in the bore that holds the wiper spindle and goes through the tailgate window. Everything else was fine - this was frozen solid.

I pulled the whole thing out, cleaned out that bore/tube and lubed everything up nice, and it works better than it ever has.

This only took a couple of hours.

I even repainted my wiper arm while I had it off. It looks awesome.
