Stripping my car down

Alright, my project car is getting a pretty good strip down, clean, and rebuild... Unfortunately, i am still in the first phase. I have everything out of then engine bay, but the power steering box.... and i can't get it off the suspension.... Where does this thing come off? I have the steering coloum pulled off of it, and taken out, and i have also taken the nut off the bottom where it attaches to the suspention arm, but i am having no luck in yanking the thing off.... any words of advise would be greatly appreciated.

Get a pitman arm puller, or borrow one from the auto parts store. Look in your manual, youll see how the pitman arm disconnects from the center link. DOnt try to take it off the steering box end.
