You'll need a pitman arm puller for that. If you're not going to keep it, you can drill holes in a straight line on the backside of the arm (away from the "tie rod" portion of it), then use a chisel to put a crack in the arm. It should drop off. You need to remove the steering shaft, power steering lines, separate pitman arm from the linkage, and usually 3 bolts on the frame.

thanks for the help the only problem im having now is actually getting the pitman arm off the shaft on the box itself... i was seeing if there is a way to get it off without takeing the pitman arm off the linkage. but if not possible i guss i can take the pitman arm off the linkage first and then take it off the box once the box is out correct??
