DIY tip - pitman arm removal
I tried removing the pitman arm with a puller, with the fork wedge, and hammering on it from the top side and couldn't get the arm off until I used all three. Of course the fork wedge won't slide over the puller. So, I ground the fork wider and the puller narrower.
I tightened the puller, drove the wedge in, tightened the puller again, then hit the wedge to make sure everything was tight. Then I also used a metal rod to hit the arm from the topside. Another hit on the wedge and was then able to use the puller to remove the arm.
