It was cheaper to buy the whole rod with both the inner and outer boot. So it looks like I'll be replacing the whole rod.

Do I just approximate the length with the orginal one, or is there a specific length?

Is there an easy way to get this rod out? So far someone has mentioned a pickled fork and others has just hammered it until it came out. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
