To avoid removing the pitman arm. I cut the splash pan at its narrowest place right near the round hole with a hack saw and was able to gently bend it around to it would slip on. I then used a small piece of sheet metal and a sheet metal screw to "rejoin" the cut. It worked great for many years. Sure made things much easier. When i sold the pans, I just welded the cut back up good as new.
