I posted this over in the 71-77 Ventura tech section, but haven't gotten any responses, so figured I'd try here...

My brother and I tried to replace the leaky steering box on his '74 GTO with and upgraded quick-ratio box, but we were unable to remove the pitman arm from the box, and were also unable to separate the center link from the pitman arm... We broke multiple pitman arm removers in the process, used heat, penetrating oil, etc. It isn't coming apart.

We later decided that it would be a good idea to refresh all of the steering linkage (tie rods, center link, pitman arm, idler arm), so we are now on the hunt for parts. It looks like nobody makes a pitman arm for the '74 GTO. However, I've also read elsewhere that you can use Firebird parts from certain years. Is this true?

Can anyone please help point me in the right direction for replacing the steering components? It does not appear to be as simple as using Nova parts. What are our parts compatibility options?

Thanks in advance.
