Fire. You only need to heat the arm in one spot. It will grow enough to loosen its grip on the shaft.

What kind of puller are you using? Like said even with a bullet proof puller heat is required most times...IMO. Here is the most inexpensive way to get heat to use on stuff like this.

Seriously though, without having the box secured to something you aren't able to shock it with hammer blows. All the impact force is just going to move the box. It needs to be immobile.

"There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives." - Scott Adams A GOOD puller and a BFH, as already noted, should do it though. If you need heat I recommend a real acetylene torch. That little Bernz-O-Matic setup does work well on small objects but those expensive oxygen cylinders only last about ten minutes... I've got one and got tired of buying $10 bottles.

I ran out of space for it and got tired of paying for those tanks every year from the gas supplier. Plus I really didn't use it that often after I got a plasma cutter. So I got them out of my small garage. I still have a gas torch at work I use when I need one. I said it was the cheapest and all that is needed. Don't need a big ole torch for this job.

I bought used tanks at a flea market, and when I need more gas I just turn them in at the local supplier and they give me a (used) full one. No monthly fees Speaking of cost, how much was your plasma cutter I've always wanted one but a good one isn't that cheap, and a cheap one isn't good.
