Craig,

If you haven't got a puller...................

Heat her up with oxy/acetylene and hit her with a hammer.

If that don't work, try the same procedure on the "pitman arm"

Seriously,

I haven't got a steering arm puller either.

I just heat with oxy and tap it off with a length of solid bar hit from a hammer from inside the engine bay and they come off easy.Engineers say its naughty to heat steering components but I've done it for years this way, no probs.

Usually the heat stuffs the steering box oil seal but an aftermarket one can be obtained as I did the same procedure on my car a few months back.

Can give you the oil seal number if required, any bearing place should be able to get it.

Oxy and hammer

I dont mind pegs and candel wax but thats crazy mmm Pulp fiction flashback with the oxy
In my 4 wheel days I saw a few oxy dropped pitman arms so it makes that look delicate

Thanks Tim I will send you a message

Craig, I have a puller. Not sure if it's specailly for the pitman arm. but it worked.

I gave up on using it when I couldn't get the arm to budge.

However when I moved the wheels it fell off, so must have done something.
