Not exactly sure what is being referred to by "pivot arm".
If it's the wiper arm the blade attaches to, lift the cover at the base to access a 15mm nut that holds it to the shaft.
If it's a linkage arm, those are actually rather easily accessed - follow the instructions for removing the motor and you'll have the entire wiper assembly out of the vehicle. Should be pretty straight-forward from there...

The Ford Windstar has the most common hook-end wiper arms. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.
There are 2 wiper motors on a Windstar: 1 for the front wipers and 1 for the rear.
