Troubleshooting
Puller jaws are not gripping the pitman arm securely.
Ensure the puller is correctly centered on the pitman arm and that the forcing screw is tightened adequately to seat the jaws. Check for any obstructions or damage on the pitman arm that might be preventing a firm grip.
Pitman arm is not loosening after repeated impact.
Confirm the puller is correctly sized and applied to an M110 Sheppard steering gear. Ensure you are striking the designated impact area firmly and squarely. A penetrating oil applied to the splined shaft and allowed to soak may also help. If the arm is severely seized, further force may be required, but always exercise caution to avoid damaging the steering gear.
Puller appears to be bending or showing signs of stress.
Inspect the puller for damage. If the tool is compromised, discontinue use immediately and contact the manufacturer for replacement or service. Ensure you are using the tool as intended and not exceeding its designed capabilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This puller is specifically designed for removing pitman arms from M110 Sheppard steering gears. It is commonly found in Class 6-8 vehicles. Always verify that your vehicle's steering gear model matches this specification before use.
Setup:
- Position the puller's jaws around the base of the pitman arm, ensuring a snug fit against the steering gear.
- Tighten the puller's forcing screw until the jaws are securely seated on the arm. The puller should be centered for even pressure.
Usage:
- With the puller securely in place, use a hammer or other suitable impact tool to strike the designated impact area on the puller.
- Apply firm, controlled blows. The combination of leverage from the fulcrum and the impact force will dislodge the pitman arm.
- Once the pitman arm begins to loosen, it can typically be removed by hand or with minimal further assistance.
Care:
- After each use, clean the puller jaws and threaded areas of any dirt or debris.
- Apply a light coat of lubricant to the forcing screw threads to ensure smooth operation.
- Store the puller in a dry location to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Inspect the jaws and impact area for any signs of damage before each use. Do not use if damaged.
