Look for the bushing seam ( maybe at 2 o'clock on your picture) & use either a sharp punch or sharp small chisel & hit the edge of the steel liner to bend inward until you can knock it out clean.
You must be registered for see images attachanyway of getting the metal shell out? The press I rented from advance sucks and is missing some adapters. But for now I'm at home with the truck apart. So can't go correct advance Auto right now.
I had the same problem it was my steering gear box1985 Ford f350 dually single cab. I have replaced tie rod ends I have replaced center link I have replaced anything I can think of sway bar end links...... The only thing I have not replaced yet is the steering gear and the steering coupling. it drives straight but there is a lot and when I mean a lot there is a lot of play in my steering wheel in my wheels will not line back up by themselves if I'm turning I'm coming out of the turn I have to turn my wheels straight they will not straighten back out is this the steering gear and steering coupling is that why I'm still having issues? Is this an alignment issue? is this a bearing issue? Please help before I wreck my baby lol
How did it turn out? Did the new steering box fix it? I have the samr problem.Just picked up a new steering gear today. Went ahead and picked up a set of rear pads as well. Sat. Should be fun.
