Default Pitman arm puller on Sthside Bris?

Anyone got one I can borrow for a few hours?
Just snapped my "supercheap" one, and gave myself a purple ear in the process....

Sounds like we were both trying to remove pitman arms yesterday I gave up after my puller let go and took a chunk of my finger with it Took a trip to Pedders at Geebung they had it off in less than 1/2 hour and fitted the replacement I supplied Well worth the $33 Should have gone there in the first place

big hammer hit in the right spot should see it drop out

BTW DO NOT HIT DOWN ON IT!!! you will damage the shaft some well targeted taps around the side should see it release

Any hitting with a hammer is not good as the shock is transfered through to the bearings and you may find that the balls in the steering worm will fail at a later date Thats why the book reccomends the use of a puller
