There is a long rod that goes from the steering arm up to the steering knuckle. In the end of the rod is a slotted plug and a cotter key in the slot. I'm assuming it's threaded. Is there a special tool to ge that out or a trick to it?

Manual(hammer) impact screw driver, make sure nothing is left of the cotter pin or nail. Could spray or soak it first.

Yes it's threaded. I have a broken wood chisel that just fits in it and I put a cresent wrench on the chisel and turn it. Springs and cups inside so don't lose them. I did have to use heat on one once.

A drag link socket is what I use. It is basically an oversized screwdriver tip on one end, the other end fits on a 1/2" drive pull handle or ratchet. If it doesn't move easily use plenty of PB Blaster and heat.

I do basically the same as Thad does. Crescent wrench and a chisel. After I get the drag link apart, I clean the threads with a small wire wheel on the end of my cordless drill. Does a nice job cleaning all the rust outta' the threads. A little dab on Anti-seize and we're good to go!

Thanks guys. I found a piece of flat bar that did the trick. Along with the Kroil and the flame.
