I removed the screw cap on top of the arm but it seems to be firmly fastened to the stem. I don't want to break anything. Is there something else holding the arm in place or do I need to try penetrating oil?

They make a puller to remove them. See if a parts store near you will lend you one. The metal between the wiper arm and stem get corroded and can be very difficult to remove.

Let me know if you have any questions.
