Re: tracking arm stud removal ?
Be sure to leave the nut threaded on but loose. That sucker will shoot out like a rocket!

Re: tracking arm stud removal ?
Use a small sledge hammer.
It's tapered,... so you are just trying to break it off the taper.

Re: tracking arm stud removal ?
I used a air hammer with a point bit and it just popped out with no problems. Should have left the nut on as it kind of flew out... LOL

Re: tracking arm stud removal ?
Application of a little heat goes a long way to help loosen it up too.
