Need help removing drag link
Ok guys help me out - I'm right in the middle of installing a 6" Zone lift on my 2014 F350 Reg cab. The drag link is being stubborn and I can't get it to break free from the pitman arm. Got the nut loosened and tapping it with a hammer. I don't want to get rough with it yet thinking someone might know a secret that I don't know. I've also soaked it with PB blaster. Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance
PS......stay tuned because I'm sure tomorrow I'll be asking for advice on getting the pitman arm to break free from the steering box lol

I wound up using a puller on the drag link. Didn't have to fight it too long and it popped off. The pitman arm was a little more difficult. I ended up cutting thru the pitman arm with a cutting wheel on my 4" grinder after fighting it for over an hour. I shoulda cut it 1st because it came right off. So for anyone taking the pitman arm off and not gonna re-use it save yourself the trouble and just cut thru it. Just go slow and check it frequently so you don't cut too deep. Thanks guys for your advice
