sprayed it with pb blaster tonight, and yeah was gonna unbolt the steering box FIRST, then try and pull the spline off - figured that would be easier. Thanks for all the help AK

Alright so was able to rubber mallet a wedge into the collar and popped it off. Everything is back together!

Is there a way to tell if the drag link ball is seated correctly in metal sleeves inside the link?...After turning the set screw in as far is it would go, there is one thread showing on the end of the drag link.
