Pitman arm removal

<< < (2/3) > >>

Evilgoat:
The paj's one only eventually yeilded to being cut off :(

The Zook's fell off when I undid the nut.

winchman:
spray with WD40
leave it
Tighten up a Hydraulic puller and apply load, two good hits with the hammer.
Go for dinner
Every few hours tighten the puller and hit it twice.
It will be off by tea time.
I find just leaving it to in between jobs works every time, its the force on it for a long time and the shock of hammering it that frees it.
I have a Hydraulic puller if any one needs it?

extreme90:
i use a hydro2 leg puller and a set of bottles  :twisted:
apply as much pressure as i dare..
light the torch and at arms length apply heat, half to the shaft half to the arm, the rapid expansion just lets it flirt off  :roll:
or if you dont have access to oxyacetyline and a hydraulic puller, as mentioned above slacken the nut and give it some serious hammer on the road over speed bumps and hitting kerbs ( my method  :twisted: ) or go offroad  :roll:

Cheers for the suggestions guys.

I think I know where I can borrow a hydraulic puller.  My main concern is now heat affecting the seals.  How resilient are they?

mattyme:
just my luck really... youve all had trouble getting the nut off!!

i have constant trouble keeping the bloody thing on tight. it lasts about a week and a half then loosens of a fratcion, but , that fraction is enough to make it wander all over the road!!  :evil:  :evil:
