Default Rear axle removal

Evening one and all.

I am trying to get the rear axle of my 406 to part company with the torsion arms so that I can remove the axle from the car. Everything else is detached. Is there a special tool/puller for this job? The fit is incredibly tight. I have removed the screw in female part, (no.10 in pic) but cannot get any sort of 'normal' puller anywhere near. I believe the same fitment was/is used across later models also.


Thanks a lot.

Dave
