It is possible that you may need a puller to start the arm moving on the spline. It is probably possible (but not as easy) to remove the assembly disconnecting the other end of the pitman arm with a tie rod end splitter. But removing the arm from the box is easier.
I can't recall; does the pitman arm have a master spline or should it be marked to make sure centre isn't lost?
