Re: 97 wrangler steering box
Hi Cal,
I just borrowed a kit with a pitman arm puller and pickel forks over the
Christmas holiday from O'Reilly Auto Parts. I had to put some money down,
however, all was refunded after I was done. I think other auto parts stores
have tools to use also. I know AutoZone has some tools.
thanks,
paul
