The 25262 combines a 1-5\/16\" (33mm) yoke opening, 2-1\/2\" (63mm) depth, and heat-treated, drop-forged construction so technicians can separate Pitman arms cleanly using a 1\/2\" drive ratchet or breaker bar. It arrives fully assembled, letting you begin work immediately without fiddling with setup pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this puller make Pitman arm removal easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool centers on the arm and applies steady axial pressure to break tapered fits without hammering or prying that can damage components. Its depth and opening dimensions are optimized for common domestic car and light truck steering gears, improving alignment and preventing slippage during extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-5\/16\" yoke opening fits most standard Pitman arm sizes on domestic vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2\" depth gives enough reach to engage the arm securely\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with 1\/2\" drive ratchet or breaker bar for controlled force application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEven, axial pull reduces risk of bending or stressing adjacent parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the 25262 durable for shop and DIY use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability is built into the puller through drop forging plus heat treatment of the yoke, which increases strength where torque concentrates.
