What a PITA it was this evening
I finnally had the time to replace my bruised and battered steering damper, but getting it off was a major PITA. The counter-pin holding in the castle-but took forever to take off; I had to cut it short, then hit it with a screwdriver and BFH. I finally got the pin out, but whats left was taking the stud out of the tie-rod
I never got the damper off, but i'll continue tommarow, WITH a puller tool this time

i know the pain..on my 92 the cotter pin broke so i had to break the nut with a drill and then slam away with the pickle fork and a bfh. the end result will really be worth it though. huge differences.

Okay, I never got the stud out, even with a pickle fork and BFH. So I tore the damper off the stud, and ripped the damn thing out of there. All thats left is the stud still stuck in the tie-rod. I finally got the Rancho steering stabilizer installed, there is a definite difference in steering and handling.

Nope, not tackling the OEM bicycle pump anymore, just ripped the thing off; done deal. And no, there was no swearing involved in the installment of the stabilizer.
