Someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong, I am hammering on the idler arm to disconnect it from the not sure what it is called coupling, maybe?
I’m trying to replace my steering gearbox on my 84 10 and this is the last thing to do to get the thing apart…it is giving me royal h3ll, I have it up some but not enough to remove the threaded bolt is still on the smooth part, hope I'm making sense…is there a tool I can rent to make this easier on me. I gave it a bath in wd-40 and its still not off, any tips/tricks to remove this thing? As always all advice/experience is greatly and sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Steering gearbox...removal please, help
Presuming that you are referring to the arm on the box, you will need a puller. One like this.

-Remove big giant nut holding pitman arm in place
-Use pitman arm puller to remove arm from splined part of steering box shaft. Sometimes they won't come completely off and out of the way but they will be obviously loose from the splines. -remove the two hoses from the top of the box -remove the pinch bolt from the steering coupler. It will take a 7/16 wrench or socket, 12 point only. Tap steering shaft coupler upwards off of the box input shaft. -remove four mounting bolts (3/4 inch socket) holding box to frame. -lift box slightly if needed to fully disengage the pitman shaft from the pitman arm. -clean up spilled fluid. sent from my iPad while sitting at the Tampa airport waiting to go back to Texas |
