There's a groove in the sector shaft that will keep the Pitman arm from coming off if the bolt isn't taken all the way out. Once the bolt is removed, use a 2-jaw puller to persuade the Pitman arm to move if necessary. Sometimes a few medium-firm taps with a BFH will get the job done! On the steering gears with one large nut on the end of the sector shaft, a very heavy duty Pitman arm puller is definitely required. Jerry
