Put the nuts back on half way and bang it with a BFH until it comes off...Tj

2 questions

1: what in the world is a BFH

2: explain this in detail... i dont quite understand this method?

It will keep you from messing up the threads. You can rent a tool from most auto parts stores that is made to remove the bolt from the drag link but I have always used the BFH method. But once you use the hammer there is no going back.

I would rent a 2 jaw puller .It better than possibly bendding stuff in the process of whacking it.

a gear puller and a pipe works well

i used a pitman arm/balljoint puller on mine, but if your have a c-clamp that might work too

heres a hi-res pic (sorry if you have a small screen)

left it at full res so you could see whats going on.
After i tightened it as tight as i could, i gave it a solid whack with the hammer and it popped out.

wish i did this first because i spent 2 days with mapp gas and a BFH and it didnt budge.

I used a Pickle fork, paid 10 bucks at autozone for it.

keep hitting it, and hit it harder. its beveled so its been squished in there from the years of use
