Had a pitman arm on a car for over 50 years. Tried all the tricks to get it off, but didn't work. I was a little skeptical at first being it was only $20, but it's heavy duty and did the job! Thanks

Excellent

Works great. It is beefy. The arms are thick and heavy duty. I used this to pull a crankshaft sprocket that was seized and this pulled it off without any tears. I did use an impact wrench to make it easier. I am very pleased this got the job done. I previously used those HF pullers but I broke them all just by using a ratchet. This ProGrade puller didn't even flinch. It is large so you do need quite a bit of room to get it in there.

economical for home workshop. not for da to day use but works well for occasional usuage without spending a lot of money

I needed a gear puller on the cheap for a bike crank set that had stripped entirely, and on a budget. I grabbed this and while I'm satisfied, this definitely wouldn't be my first pick if I needed another one.It's great in the way that you can adjust for two or three claws in the jaw. The downside is putting it all together is a chore. It's a rather obvious setup, but somehow tightening the nuts and bolts feels like a job for three 3 hands. Even then, it was obnoxious to get all of the parts loosened to fit the gear in a way that it wouldn't slip. The middle wobbled a bit for something that was something to be straight and narrow, but that could have been user error since my bike was in an odd position to begin with.When I got it all set up, it worked like a charm. Will recommend for jobs like that. Not sure about tougher applications, though, so your mileage may vary.

Great product but i was disappointed to read on the package that it only has a 1 year warranty and the seller is advertising unconditional lifetime

This was possibly the cheapest option that I found, and I took a chance on using it on a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 which has developed quite a lot of rust over the years. Soaked the stock pitman arm in PB blaster several times, and let it sit for 2 or 3 days before I actually got to pulling the pitman arm off. Removed the nut with an 18" cresent wrench, since it requires a 1 5/16" I believe, which I didn't have available without purchase. This tool removed the pitman arm with absolutely no problem!Now for the details, since this is the important part. DO NOT rely on this tool to do 100% of the work! Many people have trashed these cheap pullers in reviews, probably because they are expecting them to perform like the $200 tools do. This tool will not simply pull the pitman arm off, unless it's been removed before and the previous installer used a ton of anti seize or something. Use a penetrating fluid on the pitman arm before using this tool. And preferably use something good, like PB blaster or liquid wrench, and use it well in advance of trying to pull the pitman arm off. Heat can help a little, but it will possibly melt the seals in the steering box so beware. Not something I intended to do since I didn't want to have to replace my steering box.Before using this tool, even though it came with plenty of light oil on the threads, I slathered a ton of anti seize all over the entire threaded area just to be sure it would not bind. Work it into the threads before use so you have the best insurance available. Align the tool correctly and snug it up on the pitman arm, making sure it is centered to the steering box output shaft. Once you are sure it is centered, begin tightening the threaded shaft to begin the pulling action. Watch the tool as you tighten, make sure it does not slip off the pitman arm! If it begins to slip, loosen it and start over. Once you have around 80-100 ft/lbs, start tapping the sides of the pitman arm with a hammer. I used a 4lbs hammer so it didn't need much force. Last thing you want to do is damage the steering box output shaft. Don't swing something like this at your pitman arm with both hands like you're trying to hit a home run. It only needs a solid smack or 5 or 6, to create vibration which helps loosen the pitman arm from the steering output shaft. After you smack the pitman arm a few times around the shaft, both sides and front end (NOT UPWARD OR DEFINITELY NOT DOWNWARD!!!), tighten the puller shaft a little more. Watch the fingers of the puller, making sure they are not bending or slipping. Many people see this puller bend, and ultimately slip off the pitman arm completely, long before they are able to get it off the output shaft. Keep tapping it and tightening the threaded puller shaft and hopefully it'll give way at some point. Mine did flex at the puller's fingers, which are hanging on to the pitman arm, but I didn't tighten it to the point that they bent. And once the arm finally gave way and slipped a little, the fingers went back to the original shape/position. Also I would recommend leaving the nut a few threads on the end of the steering shaft, just if/so when the pitman arm slips, it doesn't fall on your head!I saw some great videos on Y Tube on how to use these, as well as welding a piece of angle iron across the sides to reinforce it too. Good luck as many people need it, just be patient and most of the time it should work just fine. If you're a pro mechanic and pull pitman arms often, invest in a better tool. If you just need to pull one and that's it, this tool "should" do the job.

I used this on a heavy duty Silverado and it worked fine. It was hard to fit between the cross member and the sway bar but was doable. Just detach the steering box first. I used a wrench and not an air tool but mostly due to space restrictions.I also used this to separate a tie rod. This was way easier than the fork method. It popped right off.

I bought this to be able to replace my bearings on the car, I didn't mind an item of lesser quality as it's not going to be used extensively. I thought it would be loose with rough threads and casting "flash" all over.I was pleasantly surprised to see that the unit is very sturdy and works like a charm. It is very versatile too, you can use 2 or 3 jaws and with a couple of different positions. If you're going to buy only one, buy this one!

Like someone else said, got a lot more than I expected given the price. I got the 8" 2/3 Jaw Model. I have used it to rip off tons of carrier/pinion bearings. I typically use it with an impact gun and despite getting it pretty sideways and bound up it has not broken yet.It is one of my most used tools for bearings, if you dont have a LARGE shop press these things are invaluable. Overall i give it 5 stars, if it breaks I would just buy another one... so far its been going strong and working really well.

I know these are meant for pulling heavy duty items, but I needed it to remove the fan from my commercial convection oven that needed the motor replaced. The fan shaft was tapered and the fan would not come off. This item needed some modification (gridning down hooks so that it would latch on)and once I did that, it worked like a charm. The hooks can be removed, so that it can operate as a 2 or 3 arm design. Solid product.
