Steering arm removal
has anyone actually been able to remove the steering arm on an 80's power ram. i bought a steering arm block for mine cuz it was about half the price of a drop down pitman arm. i can get the nuts off the studs but the steering arm will absolutely not budge. ive tried heat, and even tried welding a big *** nut to one of the studs in an attempt to use my 1' impact gun to remove the studs. neither one worked. any suggestions??

RE: Steering arm removal
You have to get the at least one or two of the conical washers out of the steering arm bores to get it moving, best method I've used for extra crusty/rusty ones has been a chisel to get them moving then beat the **** out of the arm to rattle them loose (stiking the top of the arm).
