Need help with getting pitman arm off

I can not seem to get the pitman arm off of my '82 2wd pickup with power steering. I have managed to get off all the other steering parts and am replacing everything but I don't know how to get the pitman arm off and don't want to damage the teeth on the power steering assembly.

Autoparts stores like AutoZone have loaner tools. Go to a place like that and get a pitman arm puller. You'll have it off in 2.2 seconds and you won't even break a sweat!

Make sure that you use the proper puller don't use a fork to take it off becouse you can damage the gear box.
