Removing pitman arm from center link
I'm having one heck of a time trying to remove the pitman arm from the center link on my 69 C10. Closest size puller I have doesn't grab enough iron to work. Pickle fork doesn't do any good and I'm afraid it will mess up the rubber.
I've done it twice before on this truck and don't remember having problems. I'm thinking my next step will be holding a body dolly on one side and smacking the other side with a sledge hammer. Any other ideas?
