SP tools 14900 Manual De Instrucciones

TOOLS REQUIRED:
• 14900 Pitman Arm Remover
• Appropriate size hex socket for steering gear model
• Impact Wrench
• 15/16" Impact Socket
• Punch
• Hammer
• Chassis Grease
Note:
The easiest way to remove the Sheppard pitman arm is while the steering gear assembly is mounted
to the vehicle. The Spacer Pucks are only required when pulling the smaller style Sheppard pitman arms.
1. Park the vehicle and secure it for service according to the manufacturer's directions.
2. Disconnect the drag link from the pitman arm following the manufacturer's directions.
3A. (Short Shaft) Use the punch to bend the restraining tabs out of the notches in the pitman arm retainer.
3B. Use the appropriate size socket to remove the pinch bolt from the pitman arm retainer nut.
4. Do not bend the tabs that are in the two slots machined into the pitman arm.
5. Remove the pitman arm retainer using the appropriate size hex drive socket and impact wrench.
6. Apply a light amount of chassis grease to the ball end of the Actuator Tip and the threads of the
Jackscrew on the 14900.
7. Slide the 14900 Puller over the end of the pitman arm far enough that the Actuator Tip is centered
over the end of the sector shaft.
8. Be sure the Actuator Tip is centered squarely on the sector shaft. (NOTE: Damage may result to the
puller if the Actuator Tip is not aligned properly.)
9. If you are pulling a narrow arm, be sure that the Spacer Pucks are installed and make contact with the
landing pads on the pitman arm.
10. Tighten the Jackscrew with the impact wrench and remove the pitman arm.
WARNING:
Research has shown that most Sheppard pitman arms are extremely tight. Never apply
heat to the pitman arm or steering gear. Doing this will cause damage to the pitman arm, sector shaft
and seals.
CAUTION: The pitman arm removes with great force and a loud bang may occur when the arm breaks
free from the sector shaft. Be sure to exercise extreme caution when using this remover tool. Always
wear protective safety glasses or a face shield.
