Properly sized pitman arm puller

take the 4 bolts off holding the Sway Bar and you can pull down out of the way and have plenty of room

I need to do a follow up video here. Perhaps this next weekend. Ive done a bunch of work on this truck. The steering feel malfunction ended up being the steering gear. Drives great now.

Thanks for posting

And why don't you use pickle forks?? They've worked great for me!

The original set I had was from Harbor Freight, and they broke immediately. Plus you run the risk of damaging the rubber boots. I've found that disrupting the metal bond with a sideways hammer strike always works. So it became my default practice and one less tool in the box. Of course, just my experiences and opinion. Not going to toss shade on someone else that is using a method successfully.

Good Job, did you take off the 11mm steering shaft bolt from gear box?

[@arturohernandez7016]

But you never show how to remove the Pitman arm literally

[@thefoos8086]

Sorry man, just figuring out how to film stuff. Given the equipment I had at the time, I couldn't get a good shot.
