Lordy, I fouond that a swine when I did mine, I've got the Defender one on Blue now.
Isn't it a LH thread? I had to heat it up and hit it a lot too.

Great tip! My Dad gave me a hand to remove the drag arm, wouldn’t listen to me about fitting it back on to the vehicle! Instead he employed an intricate system of mole grips, monkey wrenches, and vices…needless to say, nothing moved! A few sharp turns with a large bar (as per ‘TheBlueySilverThing’s’ method), and turn she did!!!
Just leave me to get everything checked in the Tyre place and re-centre the steering wheel tomorrow (new bar was slightly longer that the original, so steering wheel was slightly off). 8) 8) 8)

been there, done that, got me hair off followed by alot of french words :P :P
thats the best way IMO
you can center the steering by undoing the top uj on the colum in the engine bay, sliding it down and then slide it back up in to correct position
