One thing you MUST NOT do is hit the threaded end of the arm whilst trying to get the gear off.
It is very tempting to do so : " I'll just give it a bit of a tap to see if it will shift ......."
The metal is soft and you will have a threaded mushroom which is a real pain to rectify.
And the gear is still attached.
I had to make a crude but solid puller to do the job, and still had to grind the mesh in afterwards.
