That might work if there wasn't any splines

Probably, I think the theory is that putting load into the thing helps break the bond of the rust rather than shag the splines. When I changed the steering box on my Classic I ended up having to fire an entire welding rod onto the drop arm to heat it up then "tap" it with a 28lb sledge hammer - that got it off

nah - put your biggest puller on it - tighten it as much as you can, heat it, tighten it, heat it, tighten it - then wait 24 hours
it'll usually be sat on the floor waiting for you

When ah renewed my steering box ah borrowed a relly good set of pullers and it came off quite nicely the second time ( might've had summit to do with stickin' some copper grease on when ah refitted it

So after all that fuss I got around to disconnecting the drop arm from the steering. The castled nut was recalcitrant but came off at the sight of a breaker bar. I gave the drop arm a bit of a wiggle and there's absolutely no play in it, I wiggled the ball joint around and it was smooth and well behaved.
I guess the play must be closer to the steering wheel than here. Any suggestions?
