Default Removing steering arm,

finally getting around to adding the raised steering arm provided with the 4inch lift. Ive pb blast the 3 nuts, loosened them, but pulling the arm off the 3 studs... anyone have a good way of lifting it off, Ive tried a bfh, but figure a lil heat wont hurt, I understand there are 3 metal 'bushings' fit down along the threads inside the arm, getting those loose is going to be fun, rusted im sure. Any help or advise be great.

yeah theres 3 cone washers that are smashed in there. ive done two one we actually got off by taking it to my buddys shop he has a massive vise on a big table and held it in there and about 50 hits with a sledge hammer we got it off.

second time i did at home and just torched the thing off. cut it off in sections just try not to burn the studs. i wonder if you can just heat up that arm red hot and just smack off it that way.
