As noted by another reviewer, the item sent is NOT OTC 6496. The packaging says 6496, as do the instructions. However, the item is stamped 518864, which is a $30 puller. Amazon claims they will fix the problem, but could not guarantee that I would be sent a 6496 puller and not another low end replacement, so I took the refund option. Buy at your own risk.

Tried it on my 03 Silverado 2500HD and it wouldn't break the pitman arm loose for me, a wrench doesn't give you enough leverage and there's not a whole lot of room to swing a wrench in there anyway. I ended up taking the steering box out so I could get a regular puller and an impact on it. It only took me 1/2 hour to get the box out which I wasted on trying to use this tool. Your mileage may vary. Good idea, just didn't work out for me.

The OTC 6496 is a great tool and time saver. I have used them many times and never had an issue so when I purchased one for myself I was expecting the premium tool I had experience with.
When I received the package, very quick shipping I might add, I was disappointed that the tool in the package was not the 6496 I paid for but the OTC 518684-a fine tool and capable but not as robust as the 6496 and much less expensive. I might add that the package, which had been opened, was labled OTC 6496 but the tool inside was not.
I did not have luxury of time to send it back because I needed to use the tool immediately.
If you are considering purchasing this puller, be sure the seller will actually send the one you pay for and not some cheap version.
I think I will stick with Ebay and actual online retailers-not some Amazon subcontracted seller.

Good tool but getting ripped off really sticks in my craw.
