I need to remove the drop arm from my steering box so I can get it refurbed. It's proving near impossible to get it off. :evil:
I've soaked it with WD40 and penetrating oil every day for the past week before attempting the job. I'm using this puller/bearing seperator
which seems pretty heavy duty, I heated it with a heat gun before trying to pull it off but the thing won't budge.
Unfortunately the puller push rod bent in the process, and damaged the end threads of the box's shaft.
If I were to leave the puller's collar in place on the shaft around the drop arm, undid the bolts that mount it to the chassis and the steering coupler and whacked it with a big hammer, is this likely to help or will I just do more damage??
I don't know what else to try other than cutting the drop arm off (which I don't really want to do)
Anybody got stuck like this before??
