I’m a newb to the task of pitman arm removal. Seems that I have read that can be a bit of a nightmare. Any tips? I borrowed (actually you buy it and when it is returned you get a complete refund) a puller that looked like this puller to replace the seal on my '52 GMC. Ended up bending the puller without getting the arm off. Took the puller back to O'Reilly's and the counter man said "that shouldn't have happened" and swapped the bent one for another which worked fine. Got my money back when I returned it. If you have time, take off the nut and spray a little PB Blaster or Kroil on the exposed shaft area a couple of times over a day or two. Put the nut back on (not tight) and (not too hard) hit the arm from the side to help loosen before using the puller.
