I cursed lots and lots when doing mine ,along with lots of scraped knuckles too

Seemed to help anyway as after about 2hrs of wiggling it and spraying with wd40
It finally gave in :)

They are stubborn as hell just stick with it I also used a wallpaper scraper to help pry it
But be careful not to snap the lug
