I had to wrench on it pretty hard before it popped out with gusto. Not sure if it would work any better for you than the tool you used, but maybe worth a try.
I'm struggling to get the center link ends off now ... my tool won't fit under there, and I can't get any leverage with the pickle fork. No fun. |
That's the exact tool that I broke! Well, it looked the same. Looks like heat, and maybe a new tool
will do the job. I'm ready to give it hell; I'm taking a half day, etc. Rain or shine!! I just hope that I don't break anything else...I don't want to injure the boot on the center tie rod in the process.
