Problem Removing Center Link!

I was replacing the steering components on my 85 300TD... tie rods, idler arm bushings, center link. Tie rods popped off easily with a pickle fork. The center link is another story.... Fork, BFH, PBblaster, heat, you name it- I tried it.... for hours. Eventually I took a hacksaw to the damn thing and amputated it where it connects to the pitman arm. OOPS! I thought I'd be able to tap it through from the bottom... but of course it's too wide and only meant to slide downwards from the pittman. Now i have this bolt stuck in the Pittman arm and, as you know, have no clearance from above. What to do? EASY-OUT? Remove the Pittman arm? Please, I appreciate all suggestions.
