pitman arm puller

[joe]

cant seem to find mine, must must have grown legs or someting %) not having any luck finding one big enough at all the chain stores. Where did you get yours?

I got mine at advance auto.

Got mine at a chain store. $13.95 Only size they had. Did have to widen it a bit at the tips with an angle grinder, but just a little bit. Much easier/cheaper than trying to find a perfect fitting one. Still have it. Didn't need it. Pitman arm popped off pretty easy.

A hammer and some patience did the trick for me.. ;D

Add some downwards force with a small jack on drag link near the bolt or on the bolt and hammer the side of the knuckle. Should pop off with a few good hits.
If not turn the castle nut over and apply pressure to the drag link and hit the nut.

Use a gear puller. Good luck.

napa. just be sure to get the one that sez truck. the other one is too small.

I tried napa and took the one that I got from advanced auto, there exactly the same. but I didnt know they had one that says truck. thanks, Ive tried to jack and hammer but no luck. If my local napa dont got the truck one I think I try the grinding on it method. thank guys for the help and BRONCO WILD, if that dont work can I borrow your wife.

I got 2 ones a elcheapo chain store specail that I ground to fit but dont like using it as I can see it flexing when pressure is applied. The other one is a good one but like others it doesnt fit well without the help of a hammer.

I think the hammer idea is a very bad way to get it off. It would be an easy way to mess up the bearings and seals inside it.
