2002 ford explorer rear window blade.... It works but there is no pressure from the arm to the blade to clean the glass. I was going to bend it a bit but that didn't work any suggestions

You will need to replace arm if lubricating it and bending it does not work,common on escape and explorer.

I've seen them with either a spring or a piece of spring-steel to provide the tension for the blade against the glass. If yours is beyond adjusting, may need to replace the wiper arm. It might just need cleaning - dirt and/or corrosion gets in there making it harder to pivot on the pin.
