| It's a tapered stud. |

It fits rather snugly into the drag link, doesn't it?. You need a mechanical tool, like a tie-rod remover tool, either the "pickle fork" or the screw press.
Absent the "tools" to get the job done, you may try threading the nut back on to the point where the nut is just above the stud threads, give the drag link where the stud goes through perpendicular a couple of very solid whacks on the side with a heavy hammer and then give the nut on the stud a couple of well-placed hits with the hammer. Most of the time, the whacks on the side of the drag link will deform the hole enough that you will loosen the grip on the stud. As long as you don't go nuts, you won't damage the drag link.
You should also give the drag link a couple of solid whacks even if using the tools. Makes it much easier to pop the stud out. |
