Pitman Arm Removal?
Is there an easier way to get this off? I got the biggest pitman arm puller oreilly's had but it is to small. Do I need to get the separator style one?
Can I just use a pulley puller?

Yes, whatever works best. I had one that I bought at AZ some years ago that was too big when I did mine. I ended up buying a different, smaller one at NAPA. It was the next expensive one, I believe. I also have the separator style one.

4" 3 arm gear puller and PB blaster it for a while, torque it (the puller) down and tap around the edge with a punch. Not to crazy so you do not jack a output seal.
A 3 arm gives a more even pull, and do not get under it cause it will come off with a bang ='s ouch.
Also can maybe get a pickle fork in there? For ah....motivation.

Well we got if off with a air hammer. One little hit on each side and it came right off. Now with the steering box replaced I can keep it in the middle of my lane. Guess I will have to torque it a little more.
