Removal of steering arm from Splined shaft on 1949 SC Case

I'm attempting to remove play in the steering by following what the manual says to do (Operator's Manual, P. 36) i.e. "remove the drop arm from the horizontal shaft and turn the steering wheel several turns to present fresh bearing surfaces..."I have no idea if this will work, but want to try. My problem is I can't get the arm removed from the splined shaft. I have a ball joint tool that I have gingerly tried to force between the housing and the arm, but thought someone out there may have had experience with this and could save me a lot of grief. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Also, there does not seem to be any room to get a wheel puller behind the arm.

It is splined, but is also tapered. Pry out on it then wack the arm with a hammer were it wraps around the splines. The pressure of the hit will force it off.

Tried what you said, even heated the around the connection with a small propane torch. It seems I can only get a screw driver blade in between the housing and the arm to pry with. Possibly not enougn pressure exerted. This is not critical right now--I have a lot of other things to do on this tractor, but would like to eventually take the play out of the steering. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

The way I have gotten these off is to screw the nut on until it is just flush with the end of the threads on the shaft. Then pry out on the arm with a big screw driver and give the end of the shaft,with the nut on it,a quick rap with a hammer. The reason you put the nut on the shaft is to keep from damageing the threads. Good luck.
