Looking for tools to rent/buy to pull my steering box

July 15, 2024, 05:07:36 pm

Buddy of mine, a retired mechanic, is going to help me pull the steering box. Does anyone have a Sheppard M100 Pitman Arm Puller and/or a 5/8 Allen drive that I can rent or buy?

Well, after a sleepless night (I was a little nervous about this project), today we removed the steering gear box.  I was worried over nothing.  It took 1.5 hours, and the only issue was we had to use an angle grinder to cut out about an inch off of the wall to allow removal of the gear box.  I did use Kroil yesterday to help loosen everything and used this tool off of Amazon (Lisle 41490 Pitman Arm Puller for M100 Sheppard $65) and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks to jlallen for the suggestion of having 8AN-16 plugs handy to place on the lines so the hydraulic fluid did drain out all over the place once I disconnect the lines.

If anyone needs the Pitman Arm Puller tool, I have one now.  Happy to ship it out to you on your label.
