F4i dogbone problem - ADFreestyle - 10-29-2010

I just installed the Naarden SL200 suspension link on my f4i, went fine

Now Im trying to lower my friends 01 f4i for him... I cant get the dogbone off, its stuck on the lower sleeve/ bearing.

My first go around went smooth and it fell right out, this time its like that sleeve inside is a tad too big for the gap its been given and i cant get the dogbone to drop down.

ANY IDEAS???

Do you have weight on your suspension,that could be makin it hard to remove?

Youll have to work it back and forth while prying on it, what happens is the steel inside piece sometimes rusts and rust expands, since its such a tight fit to begin with now its really wedged in there so you really gotta put some serious ass to it. Mine needed a little prying to get it out.

You can also unbolt the 3 bolts down their connected to the engine if you have to.
