I prefer the pullers that have the semi-circular base for Pitman arms like this one =>
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OTC-8149-...oAAOSwfcVUF7Mc The two pronged jobber do work but can also go a bit skewy causing damage to the end of the shaft. ###### Tip for access - don't forget about the adjusting screw on the steering box - adjust the screw so the tension in the box goes loose and the Pitman arm comes away from the casing - you then have more space to fit the jaws of the puller (which ever one you choose to use)

Penrite Steering box lube..simple , easy , effective and saves stripping down if there is no need.

An easy solution if it's only a minor leak is to drain the existing lubricant and fill with Land Rover CV joint grease. It works and won't leak out.
