How to Remove a Stubborn Pitman Arm

Removing a seized pitman arm can be one of the most frustrating steering repairs a technician faces. Years of corrosion, road debris, heavy loads, and extreme pressure between the pitman arm and steering gear shaft can make removal nearly impossible with conventional pullers. Hammering on the component or using undersized tools often results in damaged parts, wasted labor hours, and unnecessary frustration.

Unlike generic pullers that can flex, slip, or break under extreme loads, Schley tools are designed with heavy-duty forged construction and optimized jaw geometry to maintain a secure grip on stubborn pitman arms.
