Wink

as other colleagues have pointed out, we need more context. there are different translations for the phrase like the one exxcentrica already mentioned
rip off for a phrase like arrancar (algo) de alguien...to rip smth off someone... (like to rip off her heart)

now, if you say arrancar de cero, well it means to start from zero. and so on...so, as you can see we do need context.
