Cal,
You are right, sometimes Hayne's manuals help and sometimes they just makes
things more confusing! I am looking at my manual right now also, and it does
have the "Special Tool C-4150" listed. The funny thing is that they do not
talk about this "special tool" anywhere in the written part of the text.
However, I know the nut has to come off. When I was under my truck looking
at the pitman arm, this large nut covered a large portion of the arm which
was on the steering pump shaft. There is not way the pitman arm will come
off with the nut still on there. For those who have replaced the pitman arm
on their Dak, how did you get it off?????????????????????????????????
