The Pitman arm is a part of the steering mechanism that functions as a bellcrank. It converts rotary motion into linear motion. It was invented by a guy by the name of "Pitman". the puller is a device to remove this part, it is on a tapered,splined shaft with a rather large nut holding in place. Without a puller, it won't come off. Hope this answers your question!

Just as the name says and that is usually it's only use. A pitman arm is the short arm coming off the steering box that connects steering linkage to the box. Not used on rack and pinion steering

it looks like a small c-clamp with a rod that you twist and it hooks around the pittman arm and then you tighten the rod.
