Part way there

Thanks for the tips! I finally got the arm free. Now I'm dealing height adjustment on the head. I was beating on it and the head sheared off the arm. There is enough of the head still there that I think I can put it back on with an aluminum plate as a large washer.

I got some hand jigsaw blades ...

Fixing a jigsaw

I was given the older style SS jigsaw with a removable arm. The problem is that the arm rotated so that it is below table and it seems to be rusted in place. I got the holding screw out but I can't seem to make the arm move even with lots of WD-40 and elbow grease. Any ideas on removing the arm?
