Default 2004 V70 2.5T rear wiper blade replacement? Possibly corroded?

So I've been trying to replace my rear wiper blade for awhile now, but I can't get it off.

I watched the 1A Auto video on how to remove it, but mine is completely stuck. I can remove the cover and the bolt, but when trying to remove the actual wiper arm, I feel if I pull it any harder than I did I would shatter the glass. I've been spraying the area with PB blaster every day for the past week, in the hopes that that would help, but no luck at all. The rubber lining thing that goes around it is also bent and pulled out, not sure what caused that as it was already like that when I bought the car last year.

I can get some pictures up tomorrow morning.

The arm doesn't come off to replace the blade.

But the video I linked shows him removing the whole wiper arm?

That would be because the video you linked to is on how to remove the wiper arm.

It's the same thing, you have to remove the wiper arm to remove the wiper blade.

No, you don't. Pop off the blade. Pop in the new one.
