That just makes it easier to remove though. hehe

Yup. Pressed in. Remove both sides at the same time, or else it can be near on impossible to get them out. Remove the top then the big nut on the bottom. They just fall out then.

Sorry fellas, didn't mean to be confusing. You're correct--the second photo is the working side.

Thanks for your help everyone! MOOG part in there--27 bucks. Good as new, and saved me a bundle on labor. Name: IMAG0118.jpg
