steering damper removal

Is there a prefered way to remove the stud attached to the drag link adjuster tube? I am tring to replace the stock shock unit. I have just installed the DSS, and that was easy. Thanks, Ken

You can use a puller like a pitman arm puller. I used a big hammer because none of my pullers fit.

I usually get on the end of the stud and tap on it with a blunt attachment on an air chisel. Don't do it unless you're replacing it though.

I always use a pitman arm puller, sometimes you need to add some heat and a big hammer to beat on the puller.
