@SouthernHoneyChild23 It has a bit of a taper so it should slid on easily untill the last 1/4 to 1/2 an inch. tap it with a happer if needed but dont hit it to hard. if it sticks use a piece of pipe or a socket that fits over the shaft. once its on far enough just use the nut to pull it on the rest of the way.
@SouthernHoneyChild23 Ask for a "Pitman arm seal kit". I would also suggest getting a repair manual so you can show they guy behind the counter what you're looking for, just in case.
@SouthernHoneyChild23 I'll assume you mean the power steering seal. I wouldnt reuse the old seal unless you have no other choice and if you do put a heavy grease on it to prevent leaking temporarily (there is a ton of pressure behind it, it will leak). If you're talking about puttting in a new one, there's no trick to it, just press it in by hand or a screwdriver(carefully).
@eltigrepeleador depends on what you mean by adjust, there really isnt alot you can do to them. please send me a personal messgae with a but more detail and i'll help as best i can
@124trg only remove the single bolt attaching the draglinks to the arm. you dont need to remove anything else. when you take that bolt off you will most likely need the torch cause its a tapered bolt and it will stick. the gear box side may come off with a pitman arm puller, if not torque the puller as much as you can then heat the end of the arm on the oposite side of the bolt. concentrate in one spot for a few minutes if it doesnt let go move a couple inches and try again
I uploaded a video on my Channel if you would watch and tell me what to do i

@Shyhighable keep in mind you need to have the engine running, the front wheel need to be off the ground and you need to turn the wheel quickly.

@Shyhighable if that doesnt work then you can try a magnet or drill it and use a small piese of wire to work it out
