  1. I had this problem some time ago, I used no heat;

    take 2 heavy hammers. (sledges would work great)

    PB BLAST

    and a pickle fork(tapered end separater) too.

     

    1 givie it Good soak of PB BLAST

    2 Positon one hammer against the side of the arm to use as a "bucking bar" and give the opposide side several good smacks with the second hammer. You are not beating the arm off, you are sending a shock thru it and the splines to help it break loose and for the PB to penetrate better.

    3 slide the pickle fork in above the arm and drive it in with the hammer

    4 if the arm does not budge in a few swings, leave the fork wedged in place (if it will stay) and repeat steps 1&2

     

    I went thru steps 1&3 twice before I could get the arm to come off. But my pathy seems to be really nice to me as far as not having allot of stuck hardware so it may take several more tries on your end.

     

    I like this idea thanks for the heads up. I am going to give this a try tomorrow if not then it will be buzz buzz with the cut off wheel

  2. I cut mine off, air grinder with cutting disc and it just fell off (I tried cooking, hammering, heat vision, F-bomb)

    finally just 30 seconds of zzzzing and done. carefully of course

     

    I thought about doing this. After all that is how I got the shafts out of the UCA to put in the aftermarket UCA.

  3. how bout a descent 2 arm puller

    the one i bought got the pitman straight off, which had never been off before

    buy cheap tools, what do you expect?

     

    I am using the pitman arm puller that you can rent from NAPA

  4. I have been hitting the pitman arm with PB blaster and using a pitman arm puller. I am just seeing if there is anything that I am missing.

     

    I really do not want to use any heat on the pitman arm. I know with my luck I will end up messing up the seals in the steering box and I will be worst off than I am now.

  5. I am in the middle of putting on my calmini steering kit on. The problem I am having is tring to get the pitman arm off. Does anyone have and tricks in getting this dam thing off?

  6. Thanks for the welcome everyone. The pathy is a work in progress it have about 3 inches of lift and 31x10.5x15 Remington mud brutes for the tires. I have add a full size spare and CB and a Wilson 1000 antenna since I have took the pics. My next project for the pathy will be steering upgrade. If anyone has any recommendations I am all ears.
