I need to do this on my 55.1 3600. What model truck do you have? Any recommendations for parts sourcing?

I did drill down into the ball shaft with a 5/16 bit. Used a lot of transmission fluid to keep the bit cool while drilling. Stop drilling about half way into the ball and drive it out with a hammer and punch. It helped because I had another front end that I took the tie rod and steering arms from to rebuild while the truck was still working
