bit of brute force

nice looking tool mate, if you were down my way id come round and have a go...... then admit defeat and say you need a tool

have you tried \'shocking\' it by hitting it with a hammer? it might free it up a bit. not as daft as it sounds and im not taking the piss..... (im an engineer)

Yep, tried that, tried the \'feet on the dash and pull like O_o method\' too but that didn\'t work.

I remember my old puller... it DESTROYED the horn ring... (lil ring of metal for the connection for the horn switch)

ended up going at the damn thing with a hacksaw & then a grinder to get it off

Tried wiggling, pulling, badger with the hammer all at the same time but it\'s not shifting.

I did actually consider cutting the bas7ard off last night when it was p1ssing me off.
