Jim,

Brad, 

The tool I finally broke down and bought ran me $14.99
at Auto Zone.  About 5 turns and the thing came flying
off..  Wish I'd just gone and got the tool first thing
this AM, rather than play around for 3 hrs under the

Great!  I know we spent quite a bit of time and energy that day,
re-doing the same basic front end replacement that you are going

I remember having a b$#ch of a time getting the pittman arm off the
shaft.  I think we made a decent divot in the cement of the garage floor
doing some "persuading" with the mini-sledge and still did not get it
off.  I think we gave up and took it to a shop, but it has been over ten
years and my memory of that fiasco has faded...

"It slices, it dices..  Can remove a pitman arm yet
still slice through this tomato!!" *Sorry*

Well fellow bowtie fans, the car is now complete with
a new front end!   8^]   Thanks to all for your input
on this question.

Now, can anyone tell me where I can buy a tool to shut
the friggin' rain off??  It makes it hard to get to
the shop for an alignment when every day looks like
London outside..

Thanks again-

I went and checked with my 3/4 in drive socket set,
the 1 1/4 was to small, the one that fit was 1 5/16 
hope that helps.

[Chevelle-List] pitman arm/power steering nut

2003-05-31 Thread J. Brady
I am trying to get the pitman arm off and this HUGE
nut is being uncooperative.  What size is it, anyone
know off hand?  It's too big for a 1 1/4", too small
for a 1 1/2" socket.  Do I need a 1 3/8" socket?? 
Don't remember seeing that size at the store.

Brad, 

The tool I finally broke down and bought ran me $14.99
at Auto Zone.  About 5 turns and the thing came flying
off..  Wish I'd just gone and got the tool first thing
this AM, rather than play around for 3 hrs under the
car looking like a contortionist.
