I am going to replace the drag link on my 2016 PW. Do you have a recommendation for a tool to break loose the drag link stud at the pitman arm. I don’t want to beat on the pitman arm since it is attached to the steering box. The tools I have worked on my Wrangler and 1500, but they don’t on the Power Wagon.
Thanks,
Dan

Been a few years since I did mine so the memory is a little fuzzy but I don't remember having any issues getting my old one off. Tippy-tap-aroo with the ball peen hammer if it doesn't pop right off but I don't know why you would need a special tool. Unless yours looks completely different from my 09 but I wouldn't think there would be any drastic changes.

I used a jack and 4x4 to put pressure on the link. Then used a hammer on the arm with heat. It can be really stubborn so have patience.
