Sounds like your almost done! I bet you were happy as hell to finally be able to drive it though. Dont worry, it'll be done before you know it then you can do all the burnouts you want

Go to auto zone and rent or buy a pitman arm puller. You might even have to put some heat to it to get it off.

i got ot but i think im using it wrong, am i supposed to put it on the bottom where the greasable fitting or on the stud itself?

on the stud and leave the nut on with a few threads on the nut exposed so the tool won't slip off the stud

I managed to work my way through this post.

It is epic.

I hope some day to have a beer with you. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

your not the only one who'd like to have a beer with him, the dedication and persistence to do what he's done on his car and the balls to rebuild a transmission on his own has my respect and admiration...
