Removing Main Steering Arm on a Massey 65

Massey 65 Diesel Model Utility Chassis
Power Steering/ Power Assisted Steering/Whatever

I am going to plan B and removing the steering arm to get the tie rod end out of the steering arm spigot.
I have heat and beat and hammered to no avail, tie rod end has not budged.
I loosened the bolt on the main steering arm and it dropped down to the frame; I can see the master spline on the pedestal shaft.

Plan B
Remove the drag link and hang it out of the way. May have to remove the breather to get it out of the way.

Cut off the tie rod end so the 3/4 nut is still intact, that is to cut it just above the ball. Remove the tie rods both right and left. They are already loose now and just hanging by the stuck/frozen end in the arm spigot.

Remove the power steering cylinder support bolts.
Remove the pedestal assembly bolts.
Lift the entire assembly until the main steering arm clears the pedestal shaft. I need about 1 1/2 - 2 inches to get the steering arm out.

Once its out I can get an impact on it or take it to the machine shop to get the end of the tie rod by whatever means necessary.

Questions
Does the main pedestal have a spigot on it that sits down into the frame it bolts to? There's only 2 bolts on it. I removed those and can't wiggle it. Rust got me held in place?

Does this sound like it will work?
What am I missing?

Update on PLAN B
Well it all went swimmingly with just a couple of gotchas.

There are [b:277763b9f2]4 bolts[/b:277763b9f2] holding the steering pedestal down. Not shown or implied by the parts drawing, but they are there. You will need a long extension(9-10") to reach these in back of the pedestal unless you have the radiator off.

Turning the wheels all the way left per the service manual [b:277763b9f2]did not[/b:277763b9f2] allow the cylinder pin to the pedestal to come out. There was enough slack in both ends of the linkage to allow me to jack the pedestal up to knock it the rest of the way out.

I cut off the ball joint with the 3/4 nut remaining and chucked it up in a vise where I could get at the thing. I had to hammer on my impact socket due to nut distortion from previous failed attempts to remove it.
I applied a little heat, cut loose with the impact and it came right out. I ran a tap thru it to clean the threads up 3/4 x 16tpi.
I will definitely apply nickel never seize as was previously suggested.
All in all, it went easier than expected. Waiting on parts now.
