Title: Steering Arm Removal
Post by: Nj1986k10 on January 29, 2015, 08:32:10 am

Im trying to install a new steering arm for my 4 inch lift. Do i need a pitman puller for the draglink? Or can i just bang it out?

Pry on it in the direction to come out, & swat the side / end of the arm with a hammer. The drag link end will pop out after a few good whacks.

You mean a pickle fork?
That will work too, but will ruin the rubber boot.
