OTC OTC7314A Pitman Arm Puller

Works great for separating ball joints on light duty applications like a Cherokee for example. Not sure how well it would do on a heavy duty pitman arm. Light duty should be ok

This tool is designed for a single job and it does it well. Granted, I've only used it once, but the ease in which it pulled off the pitman arm was pretty impressive. I was expecting a big fight to get the arm of my 50-year-old steering box but it just came right off. No impact wrench, hammering, or penetrating oil needed. It slipped right over the arm, I put some torque on the nut, and the arm was off in 10 seconds. It seems sufficiently built, has good weight, and the torque "bolt" has a nice convex point on the end to make sure it's centered on your steering box. Unless you're a full-time mechanic you'll probably only use this tool a handful of times in your life, but it's worth the small asking price. And for those curious, mine was marked as "Made in Taiwan", but the quality seems more than adequate for the intended use.

very good quality tool. used for removing a very stubborn Pitman arm from a steering box on a 24 year old Jeep Cherokee

If this is helpful let me know by clicking the link below! Thanks This puller is very well built and sturdy. I used it to replace the pitman and idler arms on a 2005 Chevy Avalanche, and I could not be happier with its performance. I was able to remove the pitman without loosening the steering box, which I was told was not possible. There was just enough space to pull it off with this tool. Not only was it possible, but this pitman puller made short work of the job. It pulled the pitman from the steering shaft quite easily without any sort of hammering or abuse. It also removed the ball end from the center link with ease. I was a little hesitant to spend this much on a pitman puller, but I'm very glad I did, and I definitely recommend this puller. I used this on a 2005 Chevy Avalanche 1500 2WD, however, numerous year/model Chevy/GMC Trucks, SUVs, and Van's use the same or very similar pitman and idler arms and I would expect similar results. As a side note, I used a 3/8 drive electric impact gun on it and it did not damage the threads of the puller at all, and made the job very quick and easy.

Had an EXTREMELY stubborn Pittman arm to remove, so stubborn in fact it broke an OEM tool. This tool arrived quickly and got the arm off in style! Took a bit to get enough pressure but once achieved it basically fell off ... a little anti climactic as I was expecting a pressure explosion! All in all VERY happy I was able to get this tool and the Pittman arm off my 2001 XJ.
