Need help with OME install

If you go to Canadian Tire, they will have a 'Pitman Puller' for about $20. Buy that and your life will be much easier.

This is what I bought and it worked like a charm.

 

Also, be careful when hammering that bolt. I attempted that the first time around and I messed up the nut and bolt so bad I had to use a grinder to get it off. Huge pain in the ass. Get the puller, much easier. You can even use it and then return it lol!

 

Oh, and in my opinion, those u-bolts do not look right. You may need to buy longer ones. If those come out when you are cruising at 100 on the freeway, you're gonna be in huge trouble.

 

If you want to do it the right way, this is how to do it. A pitman arm puller will suffice. As for the U-Bolts, it is a good rule of thumb to never re-use them. They are terribly cheap insurance to just leave them on and not replace them. Not to mention, yours are to short anyways and will have to be replaced. Anytime an AAL is used, you will need extended U-Bolts.

 

Pitman Arm puller FTW!! Went an bought one, had the UCAs apart in less than 2min.
