Reply With QuoteI've just finished milling out the opening in a cheap Pitman arm puller to fit. I think it cost about $25.

SupporterHi all, not sure if there is an alternative to using the LR special tool (600000) for disconnecting the steering drop arm? I wonder if anyone here has one they no longer need for sale? I see a new one on ebay UK sells for over $100 plus shipping. Not a tool I expect to need once my rebuild is finished.
Many thanks,
Garry

That's identical to the one I bought at the Vic Market hardware stall!
This guy has a really good range of those El Cheapo special tools eg pullers, caliper spreaders etc etc.
It's worth having a squizz if you are stopping by for a bratwurst roll or a borek.

Supportergreat tip Colin, thanks so much.
I have ordered a Pitman Arm Puller (the kids fell about laughing when I told them there is a tool with such a great name) and I will let you know how I go with making adjustments to it.
cheers,
Garry
Bought one from SuperCheap today. Cut it out to 1 5/8"
Worked like a charm.

the FBH....
how soon do you need to get it off, you're welcome to come out and borrow my puller kit or if you can wait till I get down that way for some other work/holiday I'll bring the FBH and my special set of swear words then get it off for you.

I know this is a very old thread but will this modified puller work for upper and lower steering relay arms as well...........they don't appear to have the little shoulders the pitman arm has. (referring to a 2a)Originally Posted by gromit

You should not need a puller on these as they are clamped, not on a tapered spline. The clamp bolt must be completely removed - it fits in a groove in the splines, and if necessary the split can be expanded slightly with a wedge such as a cold chisel, and the arm will just lift/fall off. Even if it is so rusty a bit of a pull is needed, a bearing puller will do the job.
