Can Anyone tell me if I have to pull the whole centerlink from tie rod to tie rod to replace pitman arm?

If I have to has anyone just cut the pitman arm in half and remove it? Looks to me like i could get the new one on with the centerlink and stuff hooked up.

Any help would be appreciate it and I would buy ya a couple brews if your ever in the neighborhood!

You unbolt it and use a puller.

 

Yup. Not that hard when you have a puller. I did mine in 1 hour.

 

Thankyou my Brothers.

So it doesnt matter if you remove from steering box first? Or do i remove it fron the link first?

 

Easier to remove it from link first.

 

When I did mine, I removed it from the link first. Then I used a pitman arm puller to remove it from the gear box.

 

Thanks again guys. Headed out of town tommorow so i'll get ur done when i get back.

 

eat your wheaties and use a high quality puller. it'll break a cheap puller. you may also have to beat on the side of the arm with a hammer while pulling on it.

 

Lol, amen to that, busted my advance auto parts 1, snap on one did great tho. Even hit it with impact and she buzzed right off.
