If the arm and shaft are damaged, as a low cost first attempt you might try and cut a small clean keyway/slot into the wiper arm and shaft and install/press a key or pin to lock the arm position to the shaft.. Die grinder or dremmel can make an easy keyway/rounded slot for a pin/s..

Lifting the van makes for better access to the rear bank of cylinders plugs..
