Steering Linkage Question

Before I damage something, can someone please tell me how to correctly disassemble the steering linkage? Specifically, how to you remove the "plug" at the end of this arm:



I've removed the cotter pin, and it looks like it is a threaded plug. I've soaked the ends with liquid wrench to see if that will help loosen the plug.

Thanks,
Pete

Why the new thread???

You're right,the plug is threaded and is also for adjusting the spring tension inside.Just unscrew it. Most truck mechanics I knew used the large screwdriver sockets and a ratchet.

See FIG. 05-7 for a breakdown

Probably a good idea to see about a rebuild kit.

Always call to verify.

I have one of them kits with that part number, if you need it send a PM. I don't need it for anything.
