Tom,
I'm not sure if this will be of much help but it may be worth reading
through.
http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?p=967
I would not think that it is necessary to remove the center or side rod
from the lever as they should not prevent you from lifting the lever away
from the box ONCE you get it released from the tapered spline..
I however would recommend that you put a couple of beers in the fridge
about now.

The list is confusing me a little at present as there seems to be several
different threads on this subject, some of them split into two or three
parts.

As I mentioned previously I just replaced my steering arm and seal last
week and I did it with the box still in the car. You need to first
disconnect the side and centre rods from the arm. It is best if you use a
ball joint separator to do this as the ends are tapered and remain tightly
in position after you have removed the nuts.

The most difficult thing is removal of the arm itself as it is attached to
the splined and tapered end of the steering rocker. It will be very tight
it is best to use a puller to remove it. The problem is that there is very
little room to get the puller into position. It will depend on the shape
and size of the puller. I managed to do it with the puller I purchased but
it was a bit of a struggle and I had to use it in a position that was not
exactly perpendicular. If you can get a good grip a couple of turns on the
end of the puller will free the arm easily. Replace the seal where you are
there.

Assembly is the reverse of the above.

Hi Tom,
I don't want to discourage you from trying but in my experience the factory=
 used to really tighten the big nut to ensure that the lever would not come=
 loose on the rocker shaft.
As I mentioned in my post http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?p=3D967
they are often so tight that the pressure required to separate them is suff=
icient to crush the end of the shaft or, if the puller isn't straight, actu=
ally bend the threaded section of the shaft.
I would caution you against trying to wedge something between the body of t=
he steering box and the lever as the box is not very strong and is easily b=
roken.
If you can get the 3 mounting bolts out, separate the side and center rod b=
all joints and loosen the U clamp under the dash it is possible to rotate t=
he box enough to get the puller described in my blog into position. This sa=
ves having to remove the turn signal switch, steering wheel, and grille so =
is worth the effort.
Someone on the list gave the number for the seals that have worked for me m=
any times.
Once you have the lever off it is relatively easy to remove the lid and the=
n the rocker shaft.
For an exceptional job it's not that expensive to have the area of the rock=
er shaft where the seal rides built up with "hard chrome" and ground back t=
o size.
Good luck....maybe you will be lucky and find that someone has had the leve=
r off previously and tightened the nut a little less enthusiastically that =
the factory guys.

I may end up draining as much old oil out as I can and refilling with JD co=

This what I used, it is from the UK but no doubt you can get something
similar in the US. If it doesn't work you could try rotating the box as
suggested by Michael, which should give easier access.

Tom,

I'm not sure if this will be of much help but it may be worth reading =
through.=20
http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?p=3D967

I would not think that it is necessary to remove the center or side rod =
from the lever as they should not prevent you from lifting the lever =
away from the box ONCE you get it released from the tapered spline..

I however would recommend that you put a couple of beers in the fridge =
about now.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
