<VV> PITMAN ARM /STEERING PARTS REMOVAL

[N2VZD at aol.com]

just like other tapered suspension joints that are put together to stay  
that way safely , i use an air impact hammer head in a muffler chisel on the  
side of the piece i am removing. one side then the other , usually falls 
apart  quickly with no damage. just loosen the nut a few turns , and the part 
will drop  to the nut.  same with ball joints , and tie rod ends.
sometimes a good smack on the SIDE  with a heavy hammer will  do it also. 
but never on the end of the shaft or bolt (even with a nut on it )  .
