I tried to remove the screw end of a drag link with a flat blade screwdriver....It kept slipping out of the slot. Reading the repair manual it specifies a special tool for that. What can I use to remove these ends????

A drag link socket. No kidding! You can get one at your FLAPS. It's a really big flat blade that goes on your socket drive. Get the biggest one that will fit, as those darn things can be stubborn.

I've used a chisel that fit into the slot and used a wrench to turn it. Had to warm/heat a few of them to get it out.

....and if you still can't get it find a washer that fits the slot pretty tight and then weld it in...then twist out with wrench! (Pete,that's a good idea)

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
