How in the world did some of you get the stock pitman off? The pitman puller I had was too thick to fit between the arm and the steering box....so I ground it down....and, yes, it broke....

Got another one from Napa that has slightly smaller arms, but it is too thick as well. I have soaked it in lube for the past two days. I also tried a large pickle fork and it doesn't seem to budge it....

Any suggestions? I have been without a truck for 2 days now and need to get this thing back on the road!

 

im doing mine tomorrow. I bought a expensive snapon after reading how difficult some of the others on this site have had with it.

you wouldnt happen to know what size that nut is do you? is it a 33mm???

 

I used a K-D #2289 (Napa type) puller which I ground down just enough to tap on and after cranking down on it I smacked it (not real hard) with a hammer and it came off. I did this on both of my '03-3500's with no problem.
