I want to take off my 8 inch drop pitmen arm to put another one on since I cracked it on a rock some how.But pep boys and advanced auto parts only have the small pitmen arm puller that would be for a stock pitmen arm thats smaller.Does anyone know what chain parts store sells the large pitmen arm pullers? I cant seem to find one anyplace.thanks

 

napa, you have to ask for the big truck one. i had my steering box with me so i when i went i had the box with me and took it off right there in the store.

I know you asked for "chain stores", I use Snap-on part # CJ119B
for my large arms. Buy it once and never buy one again. Works for smaller applications as well. If finding the Snap-on truck is difficult, all tools can be purchased online as well.

They stock the OTC stuff(they make the pullers for everybody) far cheaper than anywhere I've seen

 

thanks for the help guys i will try napa first in the morning and take it from there>

 

i always just smack the pitman arm where it slides over the gearbox with a BFH a few times and them smack to top of it a time or two and they come right off.... .$0.02

 

i feel sorry for your sector shaft and gearbox internals!
