Ok guys, Dagburn steering arm removal... - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have only done this once before on my 82, and it was a PAIN- I think it took me about 6 hours just to get the arm off. I have a Chilton manual and factory service manual for the 71, and they give NO help to remove the factory steering arm (part that attaches to the driver side knuckle)

Anyone who has lifted their truck know what I am talking about.

It's those dang conical locking nuts... I would sure like to hear how you guys coerced your steering arms off. I can't get any type of puller down there either.

It will be soaking in liquid wrench all day, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
