do i need to use a pitman arm puller to change the pitman arm on my 1998 1500 dodge pickup?

Yep. It will make it a great deal easier and you won't break anything.

sometimes you can use a pickle fork, but be careful of the splines

What special tools do I need to replace a pitman arm and an idler arm on my 97 model F250?

I know I need a puller. I can buy a Pitman arm puller. But can't I use the same tool for both Pitman and Idler arms? And what else might I need before getting started?
The pitman arm puller usually doesn't work for the idler arm. Use a pickle fork/ball joint separator. You wedge it into the joint then hit it with a hammer to separate the joint.
