If you don't have a shop press you will need a big hammer and a sacrificial socket.

This might help a little. http://www.ehow.com/how_7564814_remo...-cherokee.html
A large c-clamp, as well as a hammer, can be used if no vice is handy.
You should check the condition of the output seal in the t-case and replace it too if it's leaking.

The bottom of the pitman arm there's a bushing and I guess the tie rod end bolts into the pitman arm. But I can't find that bushing anywhere unless I have to get a kit.
