pitman arm off drag link Help????

I had all this replaced 6 months ago and now I need to remove it to put my TTI headers on. I got the ball joint off with pickle fork but can't get the pitman arm off the drag link. I already destoryed the new rubber boot and it still won't come off. Oh yeah, I think I broke my thumb with the hammer too. Ouch!!! any tricks before I destroy something else?
