Have you got a small punch to drift it out with? Try using a trolley jack to relieve some of the weight of the arm as you tap it out

Soak it in wd40, put the nut a few turns on the end then use a sacrificial socket/piece of wood/metal and drift it out with a large hammer, obviously it will get stuck at some point with the nut on it but by the time it does it will be loose enough to wind out with a socket and it always happens when I try to remove mine.
