Tierod end puller, $15, and it'll fall right out.

Currie flipped... don't use the fork.
Use a hammer on the side or on top of the nut after its loosened.

I used a pickle fork and went off with two hits! I have the EVO flip. Another question though.

How far do I adjust the coupler on the draglink. I screw it it from the new drag and to the coupler then to pitman side but what's the deciding length on both ends? Thanks y'all.
