stock link removal

[brenttj]

So I installed my jks disconnects and I found a way to remove the stock links without a tie rod puller get a punch on the thicker end of the scale place horizontally behind ball joint a smash with hammer to lossen the put a screw driver threw the lower link and put the nut back on the bolt then give the nut a couple of sharp hit while a mate pull on the screw driver take about a minute each link

if you hit the top of the thread hard enough with a hammer it comes out anyway.

Carefull there - doing this can cause a "mushrooming" of the bolt making it even more difficult to remove ;)
