Default new hub question

1993 full size blazer4x4---in the process of a full front end rebuild....doin everything. I do have 2 questions I could use a hand with. pitman arm removal. manual says a puller but it dosent look like near enough room to get a puller in there. how do I get it off #2 I ordered all moog parts including hubs..got passenger side axle and hub together and torqued. Should it be pretty stiff to turn?? I would assume that it is stiff due to being new and need to break in. Hubs were stiff outta box to turn by hand....any thoughts. Thanks in advance

stiff is ok,drive it 50 miles and feel it,itll loosen up. For the pitman,if its like the s10/s10 blazer you have to remove the gear box bolts and turn it a little sideways to get a puller on it.

Stiff new hubs is a good things. And 2x on the bolt removal to get the steering box access better.
