Help with steering arm removal...

I just began the install of a 4" Tuff Country lift - and will be putting on a drop-down steering arm. However, the stock arm does not want to come off. I've removed the nuts, but per the instructions there's tapered 'locks' that hold the steering arm onto the knuckle. It says to tap lightly to release the locks. I've tapped lightly, moderately, and used a 2-lb sledge in an attempt to persuade this thing to move. Those nuts aren't cooperating. Being an '84 model I bet this stuff hasn't been touched since the truck was new.

I can't really continue with the lift (to my liking) without replacing this steering arm. HELP! Suggestions????
