This is at best a two man job. while one of you used the impact gun to tighten up the puller, the other should use a hammer and bang the pitman arm. you should do this in intervals. use the imapct gun for a little tightening, then hammer the s*** out of it, impact, hammer, impact, hammer (I think You get it) should pop off after a while. just don't go crazy and tighten the puller down as far as you can off right off the bat, thats almost a guarentied pull breakage!

watch the threads on the puller. If you keep tightening it without the pitman arm moving it all it will house the threads on the puller and it will be useless. I know from experince. goodluck

Rich, I might have the stock pitman arm off my old YJ. I'll check when I get home.
If you want it, you gotta come and get it though.

i'd be cautious of how much heat your putting to that arm.not only will excess heat destroy the seals in the box(not sure if its the old box or new one your working on)..but that arm is cast and heat can drastically alter a cast parts strength.just my .02.......

I find its easy to just use the pitman arm off the jeep you pulled the box outa, its already installed

When it put the new one on I am going to grease the hell out of it for when I do my lift.

forget getting the old one off..go out and buy a new drop arm..it wont work all that well stock hight...so its a good excuse to buy a lift, then your wheels will be to small, then youll need some gears....its a never ending batle=\

Sorry, no pitman arm in my wasteland of a garage. I think I must have given it to the guy who bought my '89.
