I've just picked up a replacement part for 58 quid and removed the 2 bolts on the snapped linage arm on the car but the bugger wont bude

the arm is sitting on the screwed rod, does anyone have any experience on this or know why I cant remove the linage arm?

I’ve spayed wd40 onto the screwed rods.

Yep , you need a puller to get the arm off the linkage/arm..

It will be firmly stuck due to corrosion caused by electrolytic action of the alloy in the arm and the steel linkage.. and the fact that the linkage pin is splined to add extra security..
