    I bought this to remove the pitman arm on my 1999 jeep wrangler. It was cheap, so I guess I got what i paid for. It moved my pitman arm, MAYBE a 1/4 inch before snapping and becoming completely useless. This was the first time using the tool, right out of the package. Not sure if it will work for your job, but it didn't do the job for mine.

            Works great when used correctly. Others have said it breaks, But when used as designed, smaller ball joints IE: Honda, Toyota, it works great

                I could of got a free use of this tool at Advanced Auto Parts, but for the price I added to my tool chest. Needed to replace steering dampner on 99 Jeep Wrangler and it did the trick. For the price this is a good quality tool and will work great on tie rod ends and other applications.

                  Works well to separate joints without hammering.
                  However, be careful to center the pin on the top center of the bolt. If it is off center, you may damage threads on ball joint or tie rod end and be unable to reassemble to old parts. If you are replacing all, then it won't matter.

                    I had bought another inexpensive puller from anoth chain. It was so poor quality that it did not fit. I was reluctant to purchase another inexpensive puller but this one was much better built. I feel as if I good moe than I paid for.

                      Used this puller on alot of vehicles before it broke. 3/4 ton truck steering boxes, cars and such.What got it was the Jeep. it was a rusted pitman Arm that had not been moved in 23 years. Needless to say, a Chinese product that sells for [$] isnt going to stack up to a professional caliber HD Pitman arm puller. I say you get what you pay for, and if you need a puller on a tight budget, This will work fine on most applications. DRF

                          Does this break as quickly as Autozone's puller. It is an OEM brand, I have broken 2, both with greased threads and little torque.

                            The arm must be really stuck on there if you have broken two of these already. I would suggest getting some lubricant or penetrating oil and spraying down where the pitman arm is stuck and letting it soak. Try doing this a few times to see if things will free up some and then try breaking it loose again.

                          I own this puller. It is to small! It will not fit over the pitman arm on my 77 f150. Do you offer a larger one? Maybe in the rent a tool program?
