    Wheels off helps, nothing else needed, except another jack stand or jack to unload the rear trailing arm so the pitman arm bolt holes are straight.

    I just jacked up the rear and supported the subframe at the car, then took off the wheel, then jacked up the rear hub until the pitman arm didn't have any appreciable load on it. Undo the bolts and it slides right off.
