Pitman Arm Help!!!!!

[YoungMT Hick]

middle of the lift and i am stuck on the pitman arm. have a puller set and it doesnt fit i have the drag link off so it is just the arm now. how can you get it off with out using the 130$ tool from sears. thanks need help now

[Davey~do]

Torching hell out of it will help a bit. Have you tried that yet?

[Lbs]

I wouldn't recommend torching it. Its way to close to the steering box, lots of stuff in there that shouldn't be heated up.

You can rent them from a auto store.

Definatley would not heat it!! you can get pickle forks fairly cheap. Had to use on mine. downfall is you have to hit the pickle fork with a hammer (manual tools) Huge pain but it usually will do the trick

I tried 2 or 3 pullers we had around the shop that were supposed to work,,,found 1 at Harbor Freight for something like 18 bucks that fits/works great.

You can rent pullers from the auto part stores for free. Don't heat because you will probably ruin an seal and a leaking shaft sucks.
