Pitman arm install

You HAVE to get ALL the paint out of the splines on the pitman arm, its an extremely close tolerance part....if you had the part powder coated, your gonna have to have patience....tape off the entire outsides part. then get some DAD's paint remover and brush it in the spline area very carefully and let it sit for about 30 min. Flush this out with hot water and use a metal parts brush and clean the splines good. then go back over the remain splines with a scribe tool to get them good and clean.
