I'm in the process of replacing the OEM steering damper on my '98 TJ with a Skyjacker OEM steering stabilizer. It's been a challenge, but I got the bolt/nut off the end of the OEM stabilizer nearest the wheel. It took a propane torch to heat up the nut on the tie rod end to get it off. Problem now is I can't get the bolt end of the old damper out of the tie rod. I've hammered on it. Used WD-40, Liquid Wrench, and the torch and it doesn't budge. This isn't threaded is it? It should just pop out, right?
Thanks.
