The front cone came out too, but the back one was very stubborn as I hit the cone a few times with the socket because there isn't much meat on the steering arm back there. SO I got the flat tip for my air chisel and hit the socket with it and that back cone came dancing out of there. YEEEE HAAAW

And the best part is that I don't have to mess with auto parts stores and replacement part numbers.
Congratulations! You are now not only richer but wiser! Take this knowledge with you out in to the world and tell the people! I have posted and reposted this method and couldn't get anyone to believe me. I would give you a beer for a job well done if I was there!
