Try soaking the connecting area in a penetrating oil such as PBBlaster or
equivalent and let sit for a while-apply liberally and may have to reapply
a few times. Best to use a gear puller that will to fit to remove as
beating and bangin on it will cause more damage and trying to pry if off
with large screwdrives will only cause a few busted knuckles and add to the
frustration. I don't think you can purchase just the steering shaft from
vendors, I checked a few and couldn't locate any. Although with many folks
conversions to modern steering components, finding a used replacement
shouldn't be a big deal. Most vendors do carry the boxes but at a nice
cost.. --wayne
