Date: Thu, 22 May 2003 12:51:16 EDT Reply-To: Wolfvan88@AOL.COM Sender: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com> From: Robert Lilley <Wolfvan88@AOL.COM> Subject: Tie rod and Pitman arm puller part number Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

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.

Robert
