Trying to remove the pitman arm from my brother in laws 91 yota pickup. It failed inspection because of a leaky box. Got the new box but I cannot get the pitman arm to release from the old box. It bent the cheap auto zone pitman puller. Then snapped off one of the arms on their beffed up $200 rental version. I got refunds on both those and got one from Napa that looks pretty stout. Now my plan is one of patience. Going to snug it down tight and then apply heat, wait for it to cool and pb blast the hell out of it again. Wait a few hours tighten the puller again and repeat. After browsing a few posts on pirate it seemed like that was the preferred method other than just cutting it off.
If it isn't off using this method by tomorrow night I'll most likely have my brother in law just get a new arm. The moog ones are on sale on rockauto right now anyway.
I'm open to suggestion though, never had this much trouble with one before.
