pitman arm install

[Lindsaym151]

The old one came right out , the exact same going back in is a bear! Any tricks I should know?
All linkage is still in place.
Any info would help,
Thanks

Get yourself a pitman arm puller and some good penetration oil like Kroil. Soak it well and don't be surprised if it's still a bear to break free. The last one I did I had the puller tightened up so far I thought I was going to break it and when I hit it with a hammer it came off sounding like a pistol shot!

the old is already off.
You must have the key in the correct spot to slide on. have someone move the steering wheel slightly side to side and see if you can catch the right spot.
