All good but unable to determine how to best remove links at end of shock arm. Not a good pic, shock arm is connected to pivot, removed nut but unable to get the shaft out of link. Hope this makes sense. TIA

I use a tie rod end "press" tool. It's small, about $25 from Napa and works perfectly. Unlike a "pickle fork", it won't damage anything. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Kube, I went to NAPA for the tool you described, they had no clue. Could you give us a part number or picture. It sounds like a tool that several V8 members should have. Thanks, Jim Snyder

Jim, Whomever you spoke with at your local Napa is well, not very sharp. These tools have been around longer than I have. Here is just one of many listed-on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W83025-Tie-Puller/dp/B002NE0UPQ?th=1 Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Kube, He was a very nice man who was very interested in my Rouge "40. He did not have a clue what I wanted and it was not on the rack. Thanks for your help, Jim
