This is a push rod of a 70 Dart with 10in drum brakes. How do you get it a part ??? I need to get the pistons off the rod I unscrewed the end and the spring came off but I need only the push rod? Thanks

See att.

Pull hard, sometimes pull very hard, sometimes pull VERY hard.

pull really hard.

clamp the pushrod in a vice close to the piston, but leave enough room to put two open end wrenches between the piston and vice, and then pry the piston off the rod with the wrenches.

put a round rod thru the brake rod's end

'hook' the round rod on the side of a vice with the brake rod's end in the vice

put an open wrench over the small dia of the rod and up against the piston and hit the wrench with a hammer to pop the brake rod out of the plastic bushing inside the piston end.
