broken steering stabilizer help please

[Jhacker1]

So I decided to be nice to my truck and start replacing worn out stuff. Steering stabilizer first. Well it broke in the process. only thing left is the knuckle attached to the steering rod. and NOTHING is breaking it free. Not heat, not pb blaster, not a BFH, not a pickle fork, not a pitman arm puller. So what the hail am i supposed to do. im currently driving without a ss and would like to put my new one on asap. help pleaase.

Thanks,
Jhacker

Circled is whats left stuck in the steering rod (I forget the proper name) The rest has been broken off.

Prefer not to. Due to the fact it leaves me vehicleless. But that may be my only hope.

Easiest would be to take it to a shop and give them a couple bucks to put their air hammer on it.

Other ideas:
Try soaking it in a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. I've never used it, but it's supposed to be the bees knees for rusty/seized bits.
If you can get a drill bit on it, maybe drill out the center and collapse it with a cold chisel?
Or drill down the sides between the stud and the steering arm.
Weld a nut to it real good and crank it off with a big-ass cheater bar.
Or just keep soaking it in PB and beating on it. It has to come out sooner or later. I've always gotten my best results after giving up and starting a thread asking for advice, so get back out there and give it hell.

Did try a mapp gas torch(much hotter then std. propane)? You might try the local auto store, as they might rent out some press tools designed to press out that type of joint. German manufacturers like this way of removal as it does not stress the surrounding structure.

my need to just cut it off with a cut off wheel and replace the hole unit.

as said above. heat. get the rod glowing orange all around the stud, it will pop right out.

but, it may be best to just take it in to have done, if you dont have access to a good OE torch.

coudnt be more than a few bucks to have it removed.

Well good news. I got it loose. Hooked up the air hammer at my fire station and a buddy knocked it out with one good pull on the trigger. Thanks to all for the help. Now my new Pro Comp ES2000 is installed and i couldn't be happier. Thanks again everybody.
