Default p/s cylinder

any idea how to get a power steering cylinder off from the ball joint? I have all p/s lines off the piston rod detached the nut off the bolt near tthe ball joint. I 've tried a jaw puller and a ball joint seperator and even greased it down with wd40. I even hit the bolt with a hammer it won't budge? any ideas? Cause I'm out of them. I've got the new cylinder and ready to install just that one stubburn part is making a twenty min job last forever? Please Help?

To release a taper joint put some pressure on it with a fork or a puller and whack the side with a hammer. Not the end with the threads, the side of the link where the hole goes though.

There is a tool for that, just about any parts store will have one.
