Remove Pitman arm from center link - help
 

I've spent the afternoon trying to lift the Pitman arm out of where it attaches to the center link. (Note, not removing the Pitman arm from steering box).

After removing the crown nut, brother, this thing just won't budge! It didn't look like it chould be that tight, with just the tapered shaft of the Pitman arm dropping into the receivng hole on the center link.

Anybody done this and have some thoughts/tips on getting this bugger free?
