It's based on lanolin/wool wax, and is the best stuff I've ever found for getting really difficult parts to release. Give it about 15 minutes to work after application, and you should have a lot better luck removing the part. A puller would be nice, but two pieces of hardwood will generally work, too.

Harbor-Freight in Spokane on Sprague and Sullivan has them.

If you are going to be fixing things like this you really should have a set of three-jaw pullers. I do most of my own repairs and I have an old tool box full of different pullers. My set of three-jaw pullers is just one of those cheap sets from a tool sale. The screw threads are not as fine as a more expensive set's would be. No big deal. I just put a strain on it then smack the end of the screw with a hammer. Works great. Report Spam or Abuse
