i`ve tried both ends and i`d rather not remove it at the splined part on the p/s box. i`d rather get it at the other end where it connects to the steering bar across the front.

You just need to get a pickle fork to seperate that joint. About $14 or some parts stores will even rent them out to use

You need a tie rod fork for the other end. Autozone will lend you one for a few bucks deposit.

you either need a tie rod fork for the one end or a pittman arm puller for the other end you will not get it off without it. dont beat on that stud with a hammer you will mushroom it and not be able to get the nut back on it

Hook a prybar over the top of the center link and underneath the frame or the crossmember, or whatever and pry the center link in the downward direction, hard. Then, while holding the downward tension, hit the center link where the stud goes through with a serious hammer thump.
Sometimes, it takes a couple of thumps, but they always pop loose evetually. I'm talking about hitting the center link on the side of where the stud goes through. Hit it perpendicularly to the stud. Don't hit the stud. It will work, I haven't used a pickle fork in years, since I learned this trick.
