Pitman arm puller

[TheLimeRanger]

Does anyone have a specific brand/part number for a puller that fits? I'm pulling the PS gear out of my 74 and rented one from auto zone but neither size that came in the kit actually fits.

Thx

I bought mine at Harbor Freight. I don't remember if there was more than one style, but mine worked perfectly. Good Luck.

ya mine didnt fit either....i had to grind the tabs down. The space in my 4x4x2 box between the box and the arm is verry narrow.

This. Also had to grind the inside of the puller a small amount to center over the shaft. Easier than grinding the sides of the pitman arm.

If the box is out of the truck, you can use a bearing splitter in a press.

If you search otc & snap on they make 2 sizes the larger says trucks, the OTC smaller size ends in 49 vs 50 for the larger. I have used it on the larger Bronco arm and on the f150 boxes for the 4x4x2 boxes.

Thank you! I suspect I have the larger bronco arm. The diameter is slightly over 2.5" at the splines attached to the box

This is the one I've been using. Always works great.

X2 on this one. Just bought it 2 weeks ago and it did great. Soaked the splines with PB blaster and used a C-clamp to make sure the arms stayed on the part.

Ok so the Darth Vader helmet looking puller was too small too. Going to buy the spreader type and see if that's any better. If that doesn't do the trick I guess I'll take it off at the drag link.

 

[TheLimeRanger]

And it's off !! Woohooo!!!!!!!
