The 46 COE I am doing now didn't have a nut on the pitman arm shaft. There was many years of dirt and grease on the threads so it had been that way a long time. To make the avoided disaster worst ,when I put the puller on the pitman arm it it came off pretty easy. Makes you want to look a used truck over before you hit the road. :hammering:


restoring a 1946 coe wrecker.
