Put tension on the the puller and tap the end of the puller shaft to shock it loose.
Always worked for me. |

Sorry for your frustrations. You may want to give it another try with some higher quality hardware if you're currently using lower grade stuff. Not saying it'll work, but I'd try all possible avenues of getting it off before giving up.
To answer your earlier question about heat, I wouldn't recommend using heat in that area. Maybe others will have other insights, but I wouldn't risk damaging the plastic and wiring with heat.

You should be able to rent a better one from any parts store. Let the WD-40 work for a couple of days.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
