Im having a hell of a time trying to get the drag beam off the pitman arm.
Blasted it with PB, a drag beam removal tool, a big hammer, and no luck.
That sucker is seized on there good.
Truck has 82k.
Any trucks would be great; I'm out of ideas.

Two big hammers.
The stud is tapered, so if you place one heavy hammer, preferably a sledge, against the side of the piece (knuckle or steering arm which has the tapered hole), and smack the opposite side of the same piece.
The force will compress the tapered hole and pop the tapered stud out.

I give it a try.
Have to go pick up a few tools from NAPA.
I'll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, I'll look for a better alternative for you
I know they can be a serious pain

The best bet is to hit the knuckle simultaneously, which should work.
Or the appropriate tools from NAPA to pull it.
Others may chime in to throw suggestions on how they have done it.

UPDATE: I picked up a pitch fork from NAPA.
Five whacks with a hammer, and it gave up.
I installed the new drag beam, and all is good.
Thanks for the replies, guys.
