removing savage x4.6 lower suspention arm

[stephenmania]

ok i just got my lower suspention arms in but i dont know how to take the old ones off. i have the smaller end removed or the side that connects to the body but how do i take the side off that attaches to the steering knuckle and wheel hex. i can see that it has a small half metal ring on the end of one side. do i take that off? help please

Yep, that metal snap ring pops off and then that metal shaft can be pounded out.

Ok well I tried but it didn't work got any ideas on how to pop it off

Find something a little smaller than the hinge pin you are trying to remove and tap it out. It's probably bent, causing it to bind. Use the one from the other side if that's all you have available. An undamaged hinge pin will slide right out.
