REMOVING A POWER STEERING GEAR QUESTION........

you'll need a punch for the roll pin on the coupler. do that first before anything else. 1- because it's solidly in place with everything bolted down & 2- so you don't forget and leave it till last and you're wrestling it with all the stuff flopping around.

1 5/16" socket for the sector shaft nut (pitman arm), pitman arm puller, 3/4" socket on a ratchet for the steering box bolts (you'll need a short, deep and an extension or some combination therein to get all three).

i've found that i can usually get it without pulling the arm out of the centerlink or otherwise disturbing it, but if that's not the case, add a tie rod separator in there.

beyond the huge by large socket for the nut and a pitman arm puller, everything else is general hand tools.

i like to have plugs ready for the supply line and box nipple and a bolt or whatever to plug the return so that it doesn't slop fluid all over the place.

you'll need to loosen/drop the steering column so you can pull back the coupler off the splines on the box.

you *might* need to loosen the motor mounts and lift the engine slightly, but that's not always the case.

hth and good luck!
