Snapon pitman arm popper?

[czgunner]

I've done enough pitman arms on the GM trucks I'm looking at this:YA6880
COO is China, so who's making it?
I remember seeing it in a tool magazine a while back, and I thought it was Schley, but I can't seem to find anything on it now.

I am interested in what people say about this. Still on the fence about wether this will actually save time

i dont know. i usually slot the damn things and pop them with a chisel
if it works; id buy one just to have

This tool works well on GM trucks that you would normally have to remove the box from the frame to use a conventional puller.

just buy the otc version it works really well. its just like a regular pitman arm puller but it has the nut on the inside of the puller works very well. ive had one for years works awesome on the c/k gm trucks.

I have both these tools, each has its own advantages, and each will work in places the other does not.

So is this thing going to make it so I don't have to drop the box out of an avalanche or a blazer?

 

[ex-x-fire]

Yeah, what about the large nut? Do you use a wrench to loosen it?

 

[Wayfastwhitie440]

I've used a wrench to take the nut off and then I had a fork big enough to pop the arm off.

schley owns the patent but may have licensed manufacturing exclusively to snap on.
