Ok cool. I have a pitman puller, but wasn't planning to pull the pitman arm off the gearbox.
Was thinking:
Unscrew each tierod connector, leave the tie rods on the centerlink. Then remove the centerlink from the idler and pitman (tapered side). Then flip it 180. That'd put the tierod bolts frontwards.

I can prob make a brass rod to fit into my air chisel. Since they're new, make just smacking the centerlink with a dead blow hammer would free it? IDK, just don't wanna ruin $100 worth of new Moog parts.
