Last time i pulled my pitman arm i removed the retainer bolt ( must be fully removed ) and then tapped in a cold chisel to open it up just a little then tapped it off the shaft. again most auto parts stores carry a pitman arm puller, NAPA for sure.
Per your fenders, the replacement corner is available for the battery side but not the driver side last time i checked, maybe things have changed since?
The most successful fender cup replacements i have seen was to cut the fender straight across that body line and do the same with the replacement cup. Or this guy did his about 1" below the body line. If you need a cup on the passanger side i'd keep my eye open for one on the parts board, maybe the fender is damaged but the cup is salvageable and the seller could cut the cup off, that or post a wanted to buy thread.

Are you doing Ball joints? tie rod ends? you can rent these tools from most auto parts stores, i bought a ball joint press from Harbor Freight, i bought a tie rod remover (pickle fork) off a snap on truck.
Nice progress so far! |
Thank you for the advice and referrals. Unless there is a very significant reason for me to worry about the front fenders I plan on hiding it with a custom bumper. I do plan on taking everything apart and then have a shop go through everything and say what is ok or what needs to be replaced.
