Steering Drop Arm Puller
Evening All
If anyone has to remove the steering drop arm I can recommend the Laser drop arm puller
Comes in 2 sizes one for defenders and one for series vehicles, I must admit I was I bit sceptical about it working on my 1993 V8, after reading all the problems that other people have had resulting in getting the grinder out!
Got home from work, slipped the puller on the drop arm, did the bolt up, got a spanner on it, crikey that’s tight, have to be careful as no front axle in (that’s another story) so I don’t want to pull it off the stands, so out with the impact wrench, blow me it was off in a flash! Really surprised, I didn’t think it would work but I’m amazed!

thanks for the tip
wish you'd posted this about 3 weeks ago, took me an entire day to get mine off, in 3 peices Optimists say the glass is half full..
Pessimists say the glass is half empty..
Engineers say the glass is twice the size it needs to be!

It is absolutely fantastic when the right tool works so easily. Using the correct pitman arm puller makes this job a piece of cake..
I bought a generic puller but it is good to know that there is a specific laser tool for the job
