with a "special" tool called a pitnam arm puller. or alternativly a 3 jaw puller, but most mechanics swear by the SST as more than one have told me they have broke normal 2/3 jaw pullers trying to take them off.
the major autoparts places have them for rent/sale.

slap the pitman arm puller on there, spray down the thing in PB blaster and tighten the pitman arm puller. When it gets tight, start whackin' the pitman arm with a hammer. You don't have to hit down on it, just whack it by the splines. ah-ha, now you can tighten the puller a little more. pound some more, tighten some more. pound more, tighten and BANG the thing will slip right off.
