Need advice for dislodging timing belt tensioner lever

Having some trouble getting the timing belt tensioner lever off. I removed the clip and shim in front. The tensioner has also been removed, but still the tensioner arm is not sliding off. Looks like there's a bit of corrosion back there from a minor coolant link. Also, when I manipulate the arm, it looks like the bearing pin is turning with it.

What's the move here to get this thing un-stuck? I'm starting to get a bit worried.

I've tried several different gear pullers...the arms are all too big to effective fit into the space, even after removing the plastic trim. I've also hit it with some penetrating oil. The pin is loose and simply turns with the arm.
