The thing though, I don't see how an aluminum radiator can increase or start electrolysis

Yea I saw that, never heard of that either, seems made up to me

Probably is, I got this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/152602332919 I'm still waiting on it

Ok, I know this not on the drag link/pitmen arm topic, but still just an update on this project. I now have the steering box, steering wheel, and steering box mount bracket off. It took a lot of drilling and cutting but its out. For the radiator, I'm going with a different radiator, my plan is...

Well, it got worst, I went start cutting the radiator for the power steering pump to fit, and just as you thought, I bust the radiator.

Yep, been on that for almost a week, seems like the hardest part of this project is going to be taking stuff off

Finally got the steering arm, used some ATF, hit, and beat it with a hammer, now I got something else stuck, the steering wheel. I tried using a gear puller and it didn't work so next I tried a ratchet strap and that didn't work, plus it got stuck. My next plan is to try and get a puller that...

Going to try and yep I didn't take the washers off. I'll report back tomorrow how it goes.

Yep and right, would you think putting a scissor jack from the axle to the arm be better or a hammer?

Yep, been spraying it with WD40 ever since, at least about 5 times. I had tried getting it up with a crowbar and hammer, I never could get it to budge any further than what it has so I went back to trying to remove the drag link. Now I have a slightly bigger hammer and I brought my torch there...

Aight, going to give that a try

Yep, should be like that, I even tried using a torch to heat it up, I hit with a hammer for about 30 minutes and its still stuck, tried the scissor jack and that couldn't even push it up, tried the puller and that didn't work. I'm going to try and just change the steering arm now. The steering...

This is much harder than I expected. I wonder is there any sort of puller to get the steering arm off, at this rate I prefer to just buy another steering arm than fight this if there's a puller for it, if not than I guess I'll keep drilling. Going to finish drilling this small hole in it and...

Back at it, I put the puller on the other side and still nothing, it even bent the bolt in pulley so now I'm in the processor of drilling it out. I don't get how this thing is so stuck in there. I may take a look auto advanced and see if they got any stronger pulleys

If I jack up the other wheel, that's possible?

I attempted to do that but didn't have enough space

Update: so, I grinded it off, now it's time for the next challenge drilling out the rest. As I expected, its not coming off with a hammer or puller. I tried a puller and it eventually ended up slipping off

Yep

I'm going to try that but most likely going to end up grinding it off from the ball

Yea that's how it should be, I don't get how it's still stuck, from what it seems, I can cut it off at the ball stud and then drill the rest of the ball stud of the hole. At first, I thought the ball stud was possibly built into the steering arm but seems like it's a separate piece
