R53 rear wiper delete

I've done the search and I've watched the videos but this damn wiper arm just won't come off. I tried WD40 and PB Blaster with no results. I even tried a puller, but all I did was damage the shaft. Has anyone had success beyond simply yanking and tugging? I have a nice OutMotoring delete kit I'd like to use, but I don't want to destroy anything in the process.

I used a big channel lock pliers and pulled hard
