Default Wiper linkage seized on 04 Venture

Hi Folks.

My wiper slooowwwwllllyyyy stopped working this weekend. After disconnecting the linkages from the motor, I've found that the passenger side pivot on the linkage has seized. I've removed the linkage to get at it and lube it several different products and still can't get it to budge.

My question. Is it possible to dissassemble the pivot (where the arm bolts to the linkage) and relubricate the internals? I've tried taking it apart without success.

Or am I screwed and have to buy a new linkage?

Ripped out the linkage and bought a replacement from the wrecker for $50. Brand new the unit was about $300 as the linkage and the motor are sold as one.
