Looks like I need a new pitman arm seal. I read dpetryk's fabulous write-up. Seems like something I'll look forward to in retirement. For now, I just want to keep PS fluid off the control arm bushings :/

Is it possible to pry off the old seal without pulling the pitman arm shaft? If not, it looks like I can drop the pitman arm shaft without pulling the box. Has anyone done that?
