is there like something special your supposed to do to get the endcap off the rod to pull it off the crank?
i dont want to try and use a screw driver to pry them apart, but all the shaking and pulling ive been able to do so far hasnt done anything.

any tips? or is there something special your supposed to do to get it off?

 

nvm, i got them out with the help of a small hammer and light taps.

 

won't that funk the rod bolts all up? I am having the same problem as we speak. I came donw here and have been searching trying to find an answer to this question for the -ast 2 hours now. I have one of the 4 off

 

I thought you can use a soft hammer and just give it a couple love taps. Then try to wiggle it. Obviously you don't want to use a metal hammer for it.

 

i use a 2lb sledge to force them off.......I do really

actually i just use the hammer handle....still a 2lb sledge tho
