Hey everyone im almost done my lift but now the steering stabilizer wont come out of the drag link. I messed up by banging on the stud that goes through the drag link and the top mushroomed...i heated it up also didnt move and i put the pitman arm puller on it and it actually started to bend one of the side tabs on it...Is there anything else i can do? please any help is appreciated thanks in advance

cut it off as close to the drag link. get a punch and stick it at the bolt and give it a few whacks. i had to do this and it came out.

Put a nut on the stud and back off just past the threads next time your beating on something like that. Then you can hammer on it without damage to the threads.
