How to remove steering cylinder from a x485

Got the castle nut off...hit under with rubber mallet and it is not coming out.

Any advice?

This is for installation of fender kit.

Thanks.

Karl

Not familiar with this tractor, but it might be threaded, and need to unscrew all the way out.

OK, it would help if I could see what we are dealing with. Can you post a picture of this? Can you get a puller onto it?

The right tool for the job! Thanks TecumsehBriggs. I just assumed that he didn't own one, because if he did, he would have known what it was for and used it in the first place. Kariblay, new tool to add to your arsenal.

TecumsehBriggs came up with a good idea. Do you know anybody who may have a tie rod pickle fork you could borrow? It's a tool made to remove, just what you're at.
