One end of the pitman arm connects firmly to the steering gear on a spline. No moving or wearing parts on that end. The other end of the pitman arm has a tapered hole. The steering linkage connects to the tapered hole with a tapered ball joint fitting. If it isn't damaged, a pitman arm will not wear out.

How do you remove the drag link from a 1989 Dodge ram 350?
This is unsual but I guess I get to answer my own question. Went to the auto parts store to check part availability/price and found a mechanic who shared the following. The trick is to pull the pittman arm off the steering gear box. It will then drop down far enough to allow pulling the drag link from the pittman arm. Might be advisable to matchmark the p/a to the gearbox to assure correct alignment upon reassembly.
