Okay, you have the screw out??? Correct???

Look at the bolt portion of the gear puller and be sure that it isn't just pushing down on the handle and not the shaft... It has to be pushing on the shaft... That's where you might have to reinstall the screw and just don't screw it all the way down so that the bolt on the puller is pushing on the shaft...

If you are 100% sure that that is occurring and taping on the handle (at the shaft, not the handle part) then you might have to go to Plan B which is a torch... No, not a cutting torch but a Harry-Homeowner torch... Butane...

Wish I could be there and we would get this thing off tonight!!!

Sumabichin' handle.... Grrrrrrr!!!
