OK Alex,

I see your image *134646 shows the pot metal support for the wiper blade shaft
frozen to the steel shaft.

1. Mystery oil at either end of the pot metal/aluminum support and a long soak.

2. The candle trick:
Get some heat on the steel shaft & pot metal bracket, then push an ordinary taper candle, stolen from your wife, so that the candle wax wicks onto
the hot steel wiper shaft at both ends.

Then you can brace the support and with a nut on the end of the wiper shaft
Tap the shaft back against the braced potmetal/aluminum casting support.
I had good luck with this method before.

If it doesn't come out easy try heating, and the candle again.

Once it's apart you can dress the shaft and bore and lube with anti-seize.

Could you have removed the clip and tapped the shaft back before you removed
the bracket from the tailgate? If so, that might have freed the shaft?

Good luck, Bill
