Default Pitman arm

Alright I'm in the middle of getting everything ready for my serious steering 1 ton kit and I'm tryin to get the pitman arm off but its stuck. Iv tried using a pulley puller while light hitting it with a bfh and its not going anywhere.

Can someone give me some more suggestions on how to get it off. I'm done for right now and it's soaking in pb blaster for the night.

Thanks in advance

autozone offers a pitman puller in there rent a tool get the larger of the two and it should come right off use in impact on it if you have one. if not you can use the smaller puller and heat up the pitman with a torch. you do not need a large torch if you dont have it you can use a small portable torch it will just take longer to get hot

Put a lot of tension on the arm with your puller.
Pop the hood.
Set a piece of pipe on the top of the pitman arm.
Smack pipe with a 4 pound hammer.
Done.
