Power steering gear bolt

Ok the battle is on and so far power steering gear 1 skokie 0. What size is that bolt that is on the pitman arm? I am guessing at 1 1/2. I have a 1 1/4 and it dont fit. I was going at this with a adjustable crescent wrench but I decided to stop since I dont want to strip the threads.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I got the puller. Looks like I am buying a 1 5/16 socket tomorrow.
