Am replacing the PS box on my 67 Coronet 500, 318. Question is, do I have to take both ends of the pitman loose or will it come off the shaft at the box?

It'll come off the box but you might have to use a puller. Sometimes you can 'work' the area around the shaft with a hammer with a hammer back up like you're doing body work and it will come loose but then again, a puller can help with that too...and you don't want to hammer it very hard because there's a bearing up in there.

Got it from Firm Feel in Washington state. $549.00 including shipping and core ($175.00 core) 1-800-347-6426. They will spend as much time as needed to get you the box you need. Finally got mine out. The SM said to remove it from underneath. After much frustration I took the battery and the holder out and snuck it out that way. Aint lookin forward to tackling the reinstall. If I end doing it out the top I think I will drain and remove the radiator. It was way to much in harms way.

i can vouch for it being a pain in the :bootyshake: my two fingernails just grew back from when i finally got the box loose and smashed my figers between it and the engine block.

I swapped mine out from underneath, pulled the pitman arm first and removed the starter then it came right out.

You can rebuild these too. I had about 5 of em that I brought to my buddy and he did em all. Would have to dig back in my file for the parts info.

Red Head Steering in Washington state sold me the exact same stuff for about $70.00, HTH.
