Its called a "Pitman arm puller" and is available thru you local Auto parts store or a tool dealer. Not too awful expensive.

You may be able to borrow one from a chain store like Autozone. (pay a refundable deposit) This is just a guess. I am not certain they have pitman arm pullers but they have most other pullers so it's worth asking.

I am going to have to respectfully disagree on the torch advice. Way too close to the output shaft seal. Right tool for the job applies here. Pitman arm puller is risk free removal.

I was able to take more then one off in my homemade hydraulic press. Some came off with a bang but not sure if they would have come off any other way. Ed ke6bnl So. Calif.
