Removing raised steering arm

[Yukon Jack]

I need to remove a raised steering arm off of a Dana 44 to put on a different Dana 44. After the three nuts are removed, is there a proper way to remove the arm or do I just use a 2 lbs sledge to work it off?

Also, when I reinstall it, seems like I recall that you shouldn't reuse something, but I can't recall what the three parts are called.

Just beat it with the biggest sledge you've got and it will come off eventually.

the last one I removed I soaked it with P.B blaster for a few days then used a big hammer to beat on it. Also used a cheisel to work the tapered bushings loose.....Also before I started I used a wire wheel to clean up area........

Can I reuse the tapered bushings? Seems like I recall that you shouldn't, can't remember for sure though.

Yeah you can reuse then, I did lots of times.

Thanks, a few smacks with my hand sized sledge and it came right off - actually came off faster than I thought it would.
