Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ive replaced the steering box, but I got the arm lined up wrong and it needs to come off again. Anyone got any tricks ?
Ive heated it, hammered it, pulled it with a puller.
next Im gunna cut it with a grinder Somebody save me from going to this extreme.

go to supercrap and buy a $ 34 pitman arm puller or for $ 28 you can buy a 3 legged puller it will almost fall off with either.
How do I know how much? I bought both on saturday.
if its still stuck with a puller on it give it a sharp hit with a bfhammer while the pressure is on there.

Ive broken a supercr*p pitman puller once before and the 3 leg dont fit. Ive got a 2 leg 3" puller and the bolts all bent and broke. Belted the life out of it and heated it. Still no Joy.
In the end Ive cut it with a Dremell. Than welded the slice back up. This will be a temp fix till I chase down a new one.

Repco(Ripco) want fifty odd bucks for there pitman puller. Bought one and as soon as I started to use it, the leggs started to spread Took it back for a refound.

glad its your car a pitman arm is one thing I would not weld.
I snapped a steering box output shaft about 6 mths ago at about 30 km/h
man what a scary ride down a shit track.

Yep, not keen to drive it too much.
That must have been a solid wack you gave it to brake the steering box shaft. How did you get it home ?

no no real hit at all
I think I may have fractured it a few drives before. It turned sideways across a nasty downhill track and punched a bank.
myself and a few mates had to drive it out 1st low idle kicking the wheels straight for about a kay and a half.
then had to go to work to pick up my truck and ramps. Great fun at 2 in the morning.

The problem with welding things like pitman arms if you don't 100% know what your doing (welding forged steel) it will crack next to the weld more than likey. things like that should be pre heated and welded using special equipment.

Thanks for your concern ajsr, I get what your saying. I will be replacing it ASAP.
