With the set up in the photo gaiter removal will not make any difference as the splitter is jacking the tapered bolt and reacting against the subframe , With this set up the best way to cause shock is to hit the subframe adjacent to the taper
Had the splitter been the hammer in taper one i would agree with gaitor removal
I have never had to resort to using a splitter yet to release the taper
