Default never did get the arm off...

tried pounding on it, soaking it and spitting on it lol... finally gave in and went and got 2 more drill bits. drilled 1 size smaller than what I needed, then went to the 3/4" and was able to get thru it. put the bars up the way they need to be and now on to the fun stuff. aligning it. [&:]

He's an engineer with someting to prove.

Yes, he has ( had ) a puller, and he was on a mission to remove it without useing heat. At one time he wanted to freeze the whole thing. Even Diesel Demon made an appereance and chimmed in to help Steve. Pretty much EVERYONE was calling for heat. It's pretty funny.

Lemme see if I can find the thread for ya ...

Steve I used a puller that looked like this to remove my pitman arm for my lift install. I found it at Sears for 78.00
