P/S Valve Removal

Going to try to find the time to remove the P/S Valve off the wifes 76 today. We have had the Corvette 20+ years and know its never been off. Any advice or suggestions? Looks like it would be easier to take the pitman arm off with it.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

It's easier to separate the two with a pickle fork as Bill suggested. You should consider replacing the pitman arm while you have it apart.
