I can't get my gear puller under the Pitman arm, even with the sector shaft pulled all the way out.  Is it time to grind on my gear puller to help it fit? Is there a trick to this or am I using the wrong tool?  Is there a kind of puller with a longer flatter "hand" on the puller arm?  I'm just using a cheap puller from autozone with an S-shaped arm with a wider and narrower hand.

I tried putting a bracket under the arm and using the puller on that, but the forces involved just snapped it.

This is the puller. You can buy one or they have them on their loaner shelf.
