I'm upgrading my steering with the zj tie rod, Durango steering box, as all new bushings and paint

Soo Yeah I'm reusing it. Lol

Is it bad that I already tried heating it up ?

Yes. Dont ruin the seals in the box. Heat is bad. Why do you want to take the pitman arm off?

Wait. What exactly are you doing?

Are you taking a pitman arm off a durango box so you can swap that box in? If so, soak the hell out of the bolt in PB blaster and tap the bolt with a hammer. Then get some leverage on it. I use a big pipe wrench. Dont snap it though(it would be very hard to do).

Yeah I'm taking off the arm from the Durango box so I can put on the xj arm then just the Durango steering box.

Mount the box and use a cone pitman arm puller. For the nut make sure you are turning the right way and use a cheater bar or a impact wrench
