Just be sure that whatever pull method you use does not mess up the threads or distort the end of the shaft. If you do the nut will not thread back on and will require a rethread. While having to do that is a pain and takes time it is not a show stopper. Tinman ran into the situation in his car where someone had damaged the shaft. He found an axle rethreading kit which contains the correct rethread die for the steering shaft threads. The kit and thread info is in his project blog.
