Bolt under pitman arm
Does it come off first, before I use the pitman arm removal tool?

Yes. Not that a pitman arm would EVER fall off without it (you'll see what I mean when you use the tool) but yeah, you gotta take it off.

You may want to hit those splines with some penetrating oil a few days before removal.

Just spray the lube all around the part of the pitman arm that connects to the steering box.
