Triumph TR3 - Removing Steering Column

I need to remove the steering column from my tr-3 and seem to have solved all the procedures except for breaking the taper on the pitman arm where it meets the Tie Rod. I have a small puller that won't fit on, would it be appropriate to use a "pickle fork"?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The only damage I can forsee would be to the tie rod gaiter (rubber grease seal).

Finally got around to checking compression on the TR3A. Here's how it fared:
#1 - 130
#2 - 120
#3 - 130
#4 - 125

Love to know how this compares with other TRs. High? Low? Average? Any concerns with the 10 psi difference? I have 87mm pistons and liners.

Many thanks,

Ooops. Sorry about misplacing the previous post.
