Review on πŸ”§ Efficient 2-Jaw OTC Puller: Pitmanarm, Model 6496 by Michael Zambrano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The worst thing you could possibly have to do is the .

This puller fits GM trucks, period. You do not need to remove or even loosen the steering gear. It works well. The worst thing you have to do is twist the pull handle left or right to get a clean grip on the handle (some frames are a little tight at the shoulder gap, mine was) and have room to hit the handle itself. your hammer. I had a harder time pulling the old ball joint out of the linkage than removing the lever from the steering shaft. Don't waste your money on a snap puller ($200-$400 is a waste of time and money). I've used both types and will pay for a few before I get my hands on this snap-on thing again. By the way, it only took me 10 minutes from the start to remove the steering gear. Your results will of course vary by vehicle. Of course, remember to put a good penetrating oil like PB Blaster on the threads and splines a day or two before launch if you can.
