BTW good tricks to pull things on and off like that are to use the vehicle weight, like to press the arm back in put a block under the pin then let your jack down the weight of the truck will press it in, dont get carried away however and bend things do it slower then slow

Thanks Spudgun for the reply. Thanks for the info too on placeing the pins back in the pitman arm/tie rod end. How much grease should it take, a few pumps of the grease gun or pump it until it comes out somewhere?
