I am attempting to remove the ball from the steering arm on my '56 3100 so that I can upgrade the tie rod and ends. I have read the tech tips and read through the old postings on this topic. To no avail, I can't remove it.

The steering arm has been removed from the truck. I have ground off the peening from the back side. I have a 3/8" hole drilled almost the complete distant of the ball stud. Still no movement. Now I have starting grinding the hole bigger with a dremel tool but don't want to go to far and ruin the steering arm. What is the thickness of the sterring arm???

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
