  1. Thank you for coming in Clutch with the pitman arm! It was an absolute fight to the bitter end with that thing. Thankfully I am one more evenings work away from taking her to the alignment shop, and then it’s wheeling all dang summer. Also feels great to finally have all my tools over to my place.

    Cheers!

  2. Yeah I heated and heated and also burned through 2 tie rod tools and this was before I took the nut off the arm itself and ran into the same amount of grief trying to get the arm off. Absolutely jammed. Then the air chisel did a number on the center link side of the arm.

    Better off with a new arm I think. A relief cut on the arm and I should be able to get it off.

  3. Does anyone know where to get a pitman arm for a 94 xe? I broke the stud off in the center link joint and CANNOT for the life of me get it out. Went through 2 tie rod pullers, Heated, and air chiseled over and over and over to no avail. At this point I’m looking to just replace the whole pitman arm, but they are hard to find, or when I find them they are outrageously priced.

     

    Thanks in advance,

  4. Update: Drilled around the sleeve in the bushing until it was free enough and chiseled and hammered it out. Thankfully you only have to get one bushing out and the cross shaft slips out. New bushing with the new arms so I didn’t care to thrash the old bushing. Still working on the front end because I figured since I’ll need an alignment anyways I may as well get new ball joints and tie rods on the thing. Photos to come.

  5. How in the flying fart @!*% do you remove these bushings with the cross member still installed without a press. It looks like the typical removal tools wouldn’t work. I had no idea the lift “kit” from 4x4 parts does NOT come with new cross mounts or whatever you call them. Frustrating because they said the whole kit just bolts on, they didn’t send instructions, but on the website under “education center” it says you need to burn these out??

  6. So I am going to be doing replacing both my CV shafts soon. I have a Chiltons manual that is for 89-91.

    My Pathfinder is a 94. Being that 86.5-95 are categorized as WD21S is it going to be the same in the manual, or do I need to get a manual for 90-95?
