scott87star Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Heat. It's still a bugger but it will come. Oxy-acetylene or don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Rent the stronger puller from pep boys or somewhere. Like the one I show in the rebuild thread. I have never been able to pull one with a typical pitman are puller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsi_tom Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I tried both and the one that worked was in the rebuild thread. You can see my restoration link for what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Move to a place that gets less rain and snow. Parts don't rust so they are easy to get off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmostiler Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks for the advice, guys. I went with the heat and hammer method. Took about 30 seconds. Now to get the thing back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Wire brush followed by a little anti-sieze. Then torque in down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
