I'm going to have to replace the steering arm on the Dana 44 I picked up for the camo truck. How do you guys get those conical washers out? Last time I did it (2003) I ended up torching it and destroying my stock steering arm. I want to avoid doing it with this one. I can either pull the arm off the 10 bolt that's on it now or pick up a new arm or block. Either way I have to get the old one out. FWIW, I don't have access to any air tools.
