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.

 

clever.
are you replacing the pittman arm or the steering box ?

 

I replaced the steering box. My truck now drives like a brand new truck.

 

Thats basically how my pitman arm came off when I replaced my steering gear. Flat out a pain in the ***. But I didn't get the fork and the puller going at the same time... NICE!

 

where did you get the new box from ?
how many $ ?
