Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

If you turn the pitmen arm as far clockwise as you can, it goes on without having to take the steering box lose from the frame. Do yourself or a future owner a favor and put some anti-seize or waterproof grease on the splines when you install the new ... Read More

Soak the splines and nut with mouse milk (or your favorite penetrant) the day before. Cut a groove in it. Put back together again. Used a 24mm wrench.

Worked flawlessly. Worked like a champ. Spent hours twice with no luck. Amp; worth every penny over your average puller!

Used on a 2002 ford expedition 4x4. Gmc 2500hd duramax. Worked as intended in my 2002 f150 4x4 pitman arm. Well made and fits exactly as required to get the pitman arm off '02 tahoe.

The puller is very strong. It is thicker and heavier and just looks considerably stronger.

Cons

This tool is not as advertised. Cheap pot steel instead of the hardened tool steel advertised. Replacement pitman arm cannot be installed with the steering gear bolted in place.

Slide the dust cover up off the arm towards the box and slide it on to the pitman arm.

Definitely not doable with a standard pitman arm puller such as the one found in the otc 5 piece set.

Price

No need to pay $250-375 to mechanic, took less than 45 minutes, no need to loosen or remove ps box just slide tool on lube up and go!

Don't waste your money on the snap-on tools puller (at 200 to 400 dollars, its a waste of both time and money).

Considering the alternative to this tool is paying a shop ~$100/hr to do the job or buy the snap-on tool for over $200 it's sti... Read More

The local stores had pitman arm pullers for about $30 but they were too small.

Packaging/appearance

I think that is just the year they printed the packaging out as all gmt800 trucks are basically the same.

Competitiveness

This tool was a little pricey compared to the oem brand pitman arm puller that i already had in my toolbox (these are like ten ... Read More
