Is there a tool to put a pitman arm on?

I'm trying to rebuild my steering and swap to power steering. It's all torn down, wire brushed out and repainted and I got all the new parts (Moog/TRW) for around $135.

Trying to get my pitman arm back onto my new PS gearbox, but the damned thing does NOT want to go on (think it's the paint or powder coat on the box making it stubborn). I need something that will press the pitman arm back on. Is there such a tool? Is there a tool to get the center link onto the idler/pitman arm?

Anyone got any tips otherwise about putting all this crap back together?

Right now I've got the idler arm support and idler arm on loosely, PS gearbox is mounted, trying to get the pitman arm on so I can bolt up the centerlink, then attach the tie rods. Any advice is appreciated.

Took lots of pics for a writeup so far.

I can't check the forum daily. If I don't reply to you within 24 hours, drop me a PM! I'm (hopefully) still alive and will reply faster to a PM.
