The right arm and spindle were previously repaired and damaged, the top of the spindle appeared to have been split at the cotter pin hole by excessive puller tool use, and the round cover on the right side (that I am pulling on for the left side spindle) is partially broken, probably from puller use.
I have a new spindle for the right side, doing all the bearings etc, decided to do left side, it is frozen tight.
Pics attached of current puller set up, probably same way they damaged the right side, I am going to add a socket to the top of the spindle instead of driving the puller point into that weak cotter pin drill area.
I have use PB, heat hammer etc, nothing, only using a standard length 3/4 open end wrench on the puller, not a breaker bar, to avoid excessive pressure that may break the part the puller legs are attached to.
Used propane, going to up it to mapp gas and more smoke and heat.
