Well..tell her it has the added safety feature of the two retaining pins to keep it from slipping off, flying up from near your feet and injuring you in such a way that you won't be able to treat her for several weeks.

Update...

I found a 4x4 - Truck shop in the area. They specialize in suspensions for all types of trucks. I spoke to the owner early this morning, he told me to come on down. He has a Snap-On puller he uses on all the large F-Series trucks....Perfect!

So, I drop it off and I hear this guy go at it. In less then 5 minutes, his tool brakes....great. He said this is the first time it happened....and that pitman arm is on there good! He said he will can cut it off and he will have it done tomorrow.

So, all I will need now is a new/used pitman arm....

I wonder what sort of puller he was using.
As I said in the other thread, I had to put a 4' pipe on the drop arm and stand on it, a hi-lift handle on my breaker bar and it was still a bugger to to get off. But the OTC puller didn't break.
