Hey guys, After finishing my adventurous axle gasket fix now I'm working on pulling out my now cracked steering gear to replace it. In the tm it says for pitman arm removal to have the truck jacked on the frame. Do i need to do that just to pull it off the steering gear? Also any advice on helping to get the nut loose. Its stuck on pretty good so i'm lettin it sit in some pb. Maybe that'll work some magic!

it's a pretty easy job if you pull the drivers tire and use a jack stand under the axle, the upper rear most bolt was the easiest bolt for me to get started when hanging the new box alone:grin:

yeah 4bogginchevys, u were right the rear was actually turnable and after some hard yanking on the wrench it came out. Just tapped the pitman arm with a hammer and it slowly slid right off. I sprayed some pb on the steering gear lines so hopefully they'll come off easy tommorrow when i have some time to finish this job thanks for the tip!
