    What type of vehicle is it?

    What type of vehicle is it?

    I wouldn’t worry about using WD40. It’s unlikely to be detrimental, and it’s unlikely you’ll get the damned thing off without it!

    Without teaching you to suck eggs, but are you using the pullers correctly?
    They won’t normally just pull off an arm or other component. They are designed to add tension to the joint which you ‘release’ by use of a percussion adjustment device.
    A BIG HAMMER!

    You tension it, whach it, tension it, whack it… and so on.

    And as an aside… make sure it hasn’t got a cotter or split pin through it which locks it on! (been there.. done that…)
