Im installing a synergy dragljnk flip kit, but cant get the stock bjoint off the pitman arm
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

 

Reamer if im correct.

 

This:

11-3/4" Ball Joint Separator

It may cause a little damage to the rubber sleeve around it but I beat the hell out of mine, tried using a puller and so on for hrs. This took 10 sec.

 

Ya thats the one.

 

No..cant use the reamer until i get the stock one off. And yes ive tried a bigger hammer!

 

I had hit my pitman arm a couple times for mine to come out. Pretty hard too

 

Took me about 50 whacks with a hammer before it finally came off.... I even tried using a long bar coming down from the engine compartment to strike the top of the pin downward (with the nut slightly threaded on) Almost gave up and then it finally came apart.

 

Why not? Like I said, it might chew the boot up a tiny bit but mine still holds grease fine. If the hammer, and bigger hammer approach isnt working that's the next step.

 

You want to hit the knuckle the joint goes through, might only take 3 good hits but the impact will break it free, don't hit the actual joint or bar hit the steel with the hole in it

 

This ^^^^^^^
