I had 3.5" of lift in my TJ and had to remove an extended pitman arm because it caused death wobble. Going back to stock was much better. You may not need it and at least that will allow you to work on everything else and get be able to drive it.

Very True, But the only way to get it off is to put a puller on it with some tension and then take a heavy hammer (up to 3lb) and beat on the pitman arm where it attaches to the steering box, a few solid raps, and by solid, I mean full swing hits,  and it should pop off.

and add a little heat to the arm

Okay.  I am going to work tonight but I am calling out a work party for tomorrow for club members. I am going to start working on the jeep again at 2pm. I sleep from 8:30 to 1:30. My dilemma is trying to get the springs on. I have a compressor but the bump stop and the post it is mounted on get in the way of the tool. I hope to see you there and will buy pizza for lunch for anyone who shows up. I hope to see you.

footman:
Pull the rubber bouncer and unscrew the cup, drop the entire axle and the springs should slide off and on.
