Which tie rod puller...? (1 Viewer)

[John E]

I have an OME steering stabilizer enroute to me.

I've done some searching but I can't seem to find a recommendation for a specific tie rod puller to use for removing the old stabilizer.

Seen the OEM and the OTC brands recommended, can anyone give me a model number for one that will work?

O'Reilly's rents a lot of pullers for very cheap. You can see what the have on their website. If you take a look at what needs to be pulled, you can usually tell by the picture of the puller whether it might work.

Thanks Frank.

If yours isn't too crusted on, the one Frank list is good, but light duty.

OTC 8150 and 8149 are very heavy duty and will do everything on the front end. The 8150 is the larger puller of the two.

But if you only plan to do it once, Autozone, etc, tool rental is prolly better way to go.

Spike.
I did not know of the 8149.
I have the 8150 as well....
Good to know....

Yeah, I have both 'cuz the 8150 is too big for some spots, but I don't remember if it's on the Cruiser or not....

I've got two FJ60s and an FJ62, a stock '76 FJ40 (that'll soon be getting an upgrade to mini-truck/FJ60/IFS disc brakes), and a '71 FJ40 that's already been upgraded to mini-truck/FJ60/IFS disc brakes. I'd like to buy at least one of the OTC pullers, and a second only if needed. Which should I buy first?

You don't need one to do stabilizer, it is basically just a shockie laying down.It just has a nut at each end.

I both the OTC 7315A to do the tie rod ends (it does not damage the rubber booths), and Steering Stabilizer.

The 8150 is huge and I got it to be able to separate the Pitman Arm from the Steering box.

I have this one and it's always worked on the tied rods and steering stabilizer. I much prefer using one of these over a pickle fork.
