Here's how I got a pitman arm off after multiple attempts. I used a cheap pitman arm puller and a cheap Horrible Freight angle grinder with a cut off wheel.
Nothing like real world action - nice job. You're fortunate to have such little rust. My pitman arm and gearbox mated and gave birth to Siamese steering appendages
I have cut some deep grooves into pitman with grinder, tried many things, spent about 2 hours on it so far, will try again tomorrow , how this thing is still on is beyond belief
Looks to me like you had it in a bind. Penetrating oil is your friend. I think i would have disconnected a tie rod on one side to allow some more movement of your relay rod.
I know this is a year and something after the fact but, I'm at the "broke one cheap pitman arm puller" stage of the game on my 94 pickup, maybe I should skip ahead to the grinder part :/
All you need is a bfh and wrench that can take a beating. You'll know its free when the part or tool hits your head and bounces 6 feet in the opposite direction Oxyacetylene works wonders too.

Nice work. I'm almost there.
Nice work, hoping mine comes off a bit easier. Fingers crossed.

I know this is three years late but what did you end up doing?

Huh
thanks dude
what is that special tool u used on the last bolt
cheers
I think is call a tie rod removal tool. O'Reilly rents out.
pickle fork tool
penetrating oil for a day or few hours would help break down that rust in the splines too.
Aonde te encontrar
Yeaaa 🎉
A carpenters hammer ???😂😂😂
I think ill use my impact wrench an see what happens man that music was horrible!!
Jeesh just use some dynamite!
Warning must be watched muted because of mind numbing vomit inducing background music.
Fica aonde manda localização
Invest in an impact. With that puller takes 2 seconds
The issue was that the previous pullers were bending out til they snapped, so I could blow through pullers all day without getting this thing unstuck
Pfff horrible job TERRIBLE TRABAJO !!
