76-77 Pitman Arm puller?

[stout22]

Has anyone figured a way to pull the 76-77 pitman arm other than grinding it down so the standard puller fits?

I have an OTC HD pitman arm puller set...the jaws are adjustable to cover even large truck pitman arms. Might be able to locate one of those to rent?..they are not too pricey to buy outright either.

I did it the other way around and ground the puller.

Mine didn't fit so I just used an ordinary two arm gear puller.

I broke a gear puller yesterday - it was a cheap tool.

I broke a couple of Harbor Freight ones and they always replaced them. Finally got tired of going back and bought a decent one from Napa.

On my last pair of 76/77 axels I destroyed the autozone whimpy puller. I located a better puller and used it.

Heat! But just enuff to break the hold.

Amazing how the right tool makes a difference. Got a Lisle brand puller for a F250-F350. It fit fine and pulled it off. Had to use a cheater bar. When the pitman finally let loose I thought I had broke another tool.

I have a snap-on puller that work really good.

I also have the OTC puller, worked perfectly. If you have amazon prime it arrives at your door in two day for $55
