Default My pitman arm is stuck

Me and a buddy are doing a spring over on my 95 wrangler and the pitman arm doesn't seem to want to come off. We lubed it up and tried using a pitman arm puller hooked up to an impact wrench and the damn thing still doesn't want to come off.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

You take a rather large hammer, aka BFH, and start destroying the pitman arm on the side of it while the pitman arm puller is tight on it. - not joking.

Damn bro. You need to hurry up and finish that so I can drive the 4runner. I need to get some work done on my truck.

Yeah. I agree with everyone else and just take a BFH.

I ended up buying a different pitman arm puller from advance auto and it came off in a matter of seconds with the impact wrench.
