<VV> Re: Steering Box Replacement

It's all a matter of using the right puller. If you try and make a regular 
gear puller work, odds are you will bend it. Been there, done that. A 
"cheap" pitman arm puller will not do the job either. I have a snap-on 
pitman arm puller I have used on many different makes, including Corvairs. 
Never had one beat me yet! And if the puller bends or 
breaks.............lifetime warranty!
