First off the pitman arm doesn't leak. The sector shaft leaks & runs down on the pitman arm. There are 2 seals & a spacer & snap ring for that shaft. It all comes in a kit. After pulling the pitman arm like you described, the best way is to put the steering on center & pull the sector shaft out by removeing the 4 bolts on top. I think some guys dig the seals out with the shaft in but its easier & cleaner to pull it. This can usually be done with steering box in the truck but sometimes you need to pull it depending how assessable it is.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
