It was on there pretty tight and I had to use a big hammer too. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | I don't have a GMC or a GMC manual but isn't it the same as the Chevy steering wheel????? Simply use a steering wheel puller on it like you're supposed to.
You're probably looking at the mast jacket bearing puller. Yes that puller is a tapered piece that has hardened threads on its outside, (kind of looks like a great big tapered pipe tap) and is screwed into the bearing shell then the center bolt is used to pull it out of the mast jacket.
Please, no need for hammers here, try leverage, remember this old saying; “Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world.”

To remove the Pitman arm you need a fairly heavy duty puller. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Gues that's just my deslexia rearing it's head Fred. Dint see that part of the question. In fact that doesn't even look like the same question that I was trying to answer. I seem to recall something about a cone shaped puller and don't recall the part about the box????
