I have installed a 4"" lift on my truck. The only thing left is the pitman arm. I have currently broke to removal tools. Any suggestions to get this thing off ?

 

Penetrating oil over night put your puller on tighten down on it smack the pitman arm where you can shouldn't have to hit that hard lather rinse repeat

 

If all fails heat it enough for it to break loose just be careful with the shaft seal.

 

Will do. Thanks for the advice.

 

Using heat is my last resort. I was worried about melting the seals. I'll let it soak and drink another beer.

 

I had to remove a press on bearing from inside my baler last year and didn't want to use torches for fear of a fire. I ended up putting the puller on and heating the bearing with a heat gun, it took a while, then hitting the shafts with one of those dust off cans for computers. If you flip the can upside down you get the liquid co2 which cools it down in a hurry. Pope's off easy after that

 

I'll try that if the overnight soak fails. Thanks for the info.

 

Hold a 4lb. shop hammer against one side and hit the other side with another one, this'll usually make them pop off. Leave the nut loosely on the shaft in case of a missed swing.

 

I think most auto parts stores will loan you a puller. You have to put down a deposit equal to the cost of the puller and you get it back when you return the puller. You have to be careful removing a Pitman arm as you can damage the steering box by hammering or too much heat.

 

Finally it came off ! Thanks everybody for your suggestions and input. I appreciate it.
