HOW HARD IS IT TO REMOVE/ CHANGE THE PITMAN ARM ???

(97 EXPEDITION 2 WD 4.6 L)

DOES ANY BODY HAVE THE STEPS ???

 

Replacing the pitman arm is easy.

1. Purchase the new arm at your local parts store.
2. Purchase a pitman arm removal too, if the parts store does not loan them.
3. Crawl under the vehicle on the left side.
4. Remove the hardware at each end of the pitman arm.
5. Use the tool to remove the pitman arm from the steering gearbox shaft.
6. Replace pitman arm and reinstall hardware, with new cotterpin.

 

Takes about 20 minutes from what I hear.

Why are you replacing?

 

On a 2wd its rather easy.
4x4 not the case (so I hear).

 

Right, on the 4x4 there is something directly in the way (can't recall what it is), that must be removed first.

 

spray it with pb blaster to make it a lil easier

 

I did mine last year. Do a search by pitman arm and hopefully it will pull up.
