I have a 94 yukon and am having trouble with removing the pitman arm.
I removed the relay rod and idler arm and got a pitman arm puller but on my truck the frame is 3 inches directly under the steering box where the pitman arm connects leaving me with no space to fit in the puller, i dont want to use a pickle fork because it might ruin the gear on the steering box plus the forks are not even wide enough. This is my only car and I need it ready for the winter. Any advice would help me please.
PS. I tried to put it all back together to drive to the shop and have them do it but now the ball is spinning on the pitman arm when I try to put the nut back on. I'm s*@! out of luck right now!!
