Removal of the 57 T Bird Steering Box

[Navydad181]

My 57' T Bird Steering box needs to be replaced/rebuilt. I have the steering column removed from the spline at the box (Box Spline is damaged thus the need for rebuild/replacement) but not sure how to remove the Pittman Arm from the Tie Rod and don't want to damage it...any suggestions?
