Hi Alex,

Did you secure the aluminum bracket in a vise, and find the bracket arm turns
but not the shaft? If so the shaft got free where it was secured on the arm.
Since you didn't blow a fuse the arm might be toast where the shaft peans into it?

Other wise the steel shaft is corroded to the aluminum casting.

Did you use propane gas? If so use MAPP gas, its hotter.
Try again while you're waiting for the new arm.
Did you try heat (MAPP Gas) and then punching the end of the shaft to break it free. (With a nut on the thread of course)
Get the heat on the Threaded end of the shaft then do the candle.
Then try to heat the arm end of the shaft if you can see where it's peaned into the lever arm , give more heat and pressure on the arm to break the shaft free.

Hopefully they include the bracket.

In any case with Steel shaft into aluminum I'd Use a thin film of nickel
based anti seize, that's what it's made for.

Good luck, Bill
