I am attempting to remove and replace my front bolster because the hole for the pivot pin is worn egg shaped from too much loader use. I have all 6 bolts removed from the bolster and some threaded rods installed to catch the bolster but it won't come down more than 1/2" I have the bolt holding the center steering arm to the pitman shaft loose but not removed. Does this bolt have to be removed to slide the steering arm off of the pitman shaft? It seems like that is the only thing keeping the bolster from sliding down off of the pitman shaft. The shaft should stay in the piston and allow me to remove the bolster correct?
