lokk at the ends usually a cotter pin is there remove it and what looks like a slot at the end will actuall unscrew and release the pressure on the spring inside and that will release pressure on the inner ball lock

i believe the are pressed in,maybe alittle heat will help, but i dont believe the newer style ends will work anyway not enough of a cast end to make it seat properly

Re: quick ?, how to remove
Yes, You are correct about needing a press to get the old ones out. I filed the ends until you can see where the two pieces join, It took a hyd. press to get them to seperate.

Drill the center out with a 1/2" drill bit and drive the ball out with a drift and hammer. They come out very easy that way.
