Removing lower track bar mount?

I removed the track bar from the truck, and undid the nut on the front side of the diff housing, but the stud that remains doesn't seem to want to budge. Do I need to use a puller to get this out, or just get a bigger hammer?

Give it a little twist with a pipe wrench and it will come right loose. I had to do that myself a few times.

I'd avoid the hammer if possible. I've seen that whole cast loop break off.

Good call. I didn't consider that, but it's definitely something to look out for.

Well, a little propane persuasion, and an 18" pipe wrench, and out it came!

Thanks TX Firefighter, and XXL
