Possibly, this picture may help clear-up the "two hammer" method. The "loop" is the tapered female part in the equation. Don't be afraid to whang the piss out of it with your "hammer-hitting" technique. DD |

Re: Tool advice
I got them out, but it took some heat to do it. I had to pound them out by hitting the stud. The parts were almost 60+ years old based on the condition.

Re: Tool advice
8 I don't recall ever needing to use heat to remove the tapered shafts of a shock link, based on using the method I described in my previous post on this thread, but then maybe I've just been lucky all these years of owning and working on early Fords

Re: Tool advice
The idea of the hammers is great, but often times there is not enough room to swing. This is what I have been using for years for Ford tapered seats like tie-rod ends, shock links and stabilizer connectors. This is a KD 3916, ball joint separator available through multiple sources like Sears, Amazon etc. Works every time, often with an assist from the blue wrench. For all the use I have given it, for $25., it has be the best tool money I ever spent.

Re: Tool advice
I've had good luck placing a block of wood between the frame and the link. loosen the bolt a turn or two and smack the stud . they usually pop loose. I also coat the taper with anti-seize when reassembling.
