The passenger side wiper keeps stopping on the Passenger's side. The arm
under the front cowl keeps falling off the splined shaft that connects it
to the wiper arm. I have hammered it back on about 6 times, and it keeps
falling off.
There is no way to thread it for a nut, or groove it for a C-clip, or even
to shove a push nut on it. Is there some way to fix this thing without
replacing the whole arm assy?

Replace the pivot is the only fix.

call a dealer with your vin there was a recall on the pivots it may be covered

The recall was NHTSA 99V-189000 that covered the LEFT (driver's side)
wiper pivot assembly. They probably didn't cover the passenger side
because that side doesn't create as great a safety hazard if it stops
working. But if your passenger side is bad, take it in for the driver's
side under the recall, and hopefully they will fix the passenger side,
too, for not "much" more, since they have it apart anyway.

The recall was only for the drivers side
