Today I rented a Pittman Arm puller from AutoZone I also bought a 1 5/16" socket 3/4 inch drive with a 3/4 to 1/2 converter for the large nut holding on the arm. I had to use a four foot pipe as a lever for the Pittman Arm puller.

I had to pull the 74 box back out to swap the Pittman arms. Everything came apart and went back together just peachy. I checked the Castle Nut tension on my bearings without adjusting.

The test drive was fantastic. With the new poly bushings on the steering column link, I have steering that is very responsive without that squishy feel.

All help and teaching appreciated.
