Pitman/Idler arms stuck - pickle forking to no avail - - Unsure
Have pulled off of steering spline, ok, but can't get other end or other part off.
Is there a trick? Fork won't hammer in enuf to pry 'em apart - I pound and pound ...

If your trying to get the pitman arm off of the steering box, it's going to take a special, very strong puller. It won't come off any other way and you will destroy the steering box trying to.
