Technician have a tendency to use whatever tool is available, which may or may not be the proper tool, for the job. This fact is supported by the number of technicians who have admitted (during our clinics) to driving a chisel into the pinch bolt area of a pitman arm in order to remove it.

We are often asked what we use at the factory or would recommend. Our technicians use the Posi Lock model 108 a 3 jaw or Posi Lock model 210 a 2 jaw puller. The 2 jaw for easy jobs and the 3 jaw (because it provides a more positive grip) on the more difficult to remove pitman arms.
