Anybody got a GM idler arm puller?

I've tried pullers from O'Reilly's, Autozone, and Advanced Auto.  I've tried heat, BFH's, and pickle forks.

Anybody in the HSV area have an idler arm puller I can use to remove mine?

If so, please PM me or email at skimblzbvs at yahoo dot com.  I'm REALLY needing one!
 
are you replacing the PITMAN ARM or the IDLER ARM, the pitman arm is on the steering box and would need a puller to remove, the idler arm is on the passenger side and is bolted to the pivot assembly, both the idler and pivot wear out and should be replaced together. the pivot unbolts from the frame...

I ended up going with a Cognito idler assembly setup and a Moog idler arm.  Solid steering now. :)

I tried several pullers - breaking every one.  Tried a couple from HF - not surprised..  Took it to Firestone on University by HH Gregg and they pulled it for me.  Took 10 minutes with a pickle fork attachment on an air hammer for THEM to get it removed!
