If this fails, hacksaw or, with care not to damage the arm, grind off the metal bush. The other side came off by hammer and drift alone. If you push the front wheel forwards slightly, you can wiggle the bush off the end. I did mine with the wheels on and on ramps.

Hi thanks,
I have tried to cut the old rubber but didn't think of wire. I have welding wire so that might help and I have a chisel and hammer. I do need an adjustable angle spanner like yours though.
