Default steering gear box replacement

Hey guys, im leaking power steering fluid out of my steering gear box so obviously i need to replace it. However it seems to be seized onto the pitman arm and i have used the puller on it and the fork separator on either end of the pitman arm to try to get it off, still froze on it. Any advise?

Heat it up with a torch. Or as we call it at work the devil, because nothing can refuse its touch.
