Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.

No problem Alan,
I just unbolt the gearbox and disconnect the pitman from the drag link then you are able to move the box enough to get the nut off and a puller on the pitman arm. The first time is a pain but after you do a few it's a piece of cake.
Another way to run the nuts up on the tie rods is by using a large pair of channel locks to push the taper in the bore.
When I was working on cars for a living I loved when one of these trucks came in, practically everyone needs an idler and a pitman. It was gravy work that paid well.
