Need Help with Drag Link
I am replacing the tie rod, tie rod ends, and drag link on my '54 F-100. I have scraped 57 years of crud off the drag link but still don't see how to get it off. I'm sure it is very simple. Please help a rookie!

There's a giant screw on each end of the drag link you have to loosen for it to remove from both the pitman arm and steering arm, at the spindle. You'll see them held in place by cotter pins.

It took me quite a while to get it. I used an impact driver to get them loose.
I'm always afraid I will break something that needs a BFH.
Here are a couple of pictures of my drag link disassembled.
