There is a very commonly available steering arm puller which with some very
slight modification with a grinder, and the use of a protective nut on the
thread of the steering box shaft, to prevent the split pin hole from
crushing down, will easily remove the steering box arm.
I bought mine from www.princessauto.com but can't find it on their site at
present.

Hey Michael.
Thanks for the link - what a great tool store!

Would you, or anyone on the list, know of quality pitman arm puller that
would fit/work on Big Healeys? To preserve the peg on my BN4 steering box I
resorted to slitting the drop-arm with a disc cutter to release it.
Everything else had failed. I am now putting off the moment when I tackle
the same job on the idler!
Item 41900 (put it in the search at JCS) looks like it will do the job. Any
views/recommends?

Ken,
You should be able to determine if the noise is from the gearbox or the diff
by listening for it in 4th gear as you mentioned. If it is not there in 4th
but is there in 3rd then 20:1 it is in the gearbox. Although it may be more
than you want to spend I use this device for noise analysis.

It is invaluable and very accurate.
