Subject:Tie rod and Pitman arm puller part number

Here are the two parts that will make removing the upper/lower ball joints
and tie rods from the spindle.  You still have to have you lower ball joints
pressed out of the lower control arm.

Tie rod end and Pitman rod puller
P-36861
Opening size 1 1/16"

AmPro
Pitman arm puller
T72069
opening size: 1 5/16"

I am telling you, these two tools will make removing those stubborn ball
joints a breeze.  It took me less than 30 minutes to have each side apart to
replace the springs and no damage to the rubber boots...

You do not need these brands, just match opening size.
