Pitman arm puller size
It needs to accomodate my 89 F250 HD with 7.5L, 2WD and also Chebby Caprice with 350.
The former has a Steering Gear Input Shaft Seal leaking, so it must be replaced and there is no apparent way to do that without taking the whole thing off. I will keep the box since there are no driving problems with it.
The latter needs to have the whole box removed and replaced, it is worn, loose, leaking.
Any good brands, what size do I need?

well, i imagine if the auto place sells a one-size fits all kind of thing, it might not work, or work best with this 'heavy duty' pickup.
they do specify some kind of range but I am not sure what it refers to.

Mike W is right about tightening and tapping it helps alot. If your not worried about the gear use a little heat on the arm. If you don't have a puller and have room to swing a hammer put a large hammer on one side of the arm at the shaft and hit the arm directly across from the first hammer. This technique works with most taper fit parts-rod ends and ball joints.
