So, when we did my '92 we unbolted two of three of the bolts that hold the steering box to the frame and then rotated the steering box to an angle where we could get a puller on it, wasn't too hard but it is a bit onerous.
I'm hoping on my 98 that since the undercarriage is clean as hell and it is relatively low mileage that I can just take the nut down to the bottom of the threads and wack away with a pickle fork a couple times...what do yall think?
Also, I ordered a new idler arm and bracket, so I should just take the old one out in once piece right? Any tips there?
I plan to take out the tie rod assemblies in one piece, get the new assemblies as close to them in size as possible, reinstall them, do idler arm, and then tackle the pitman arm.
