I replace or repair mine every 2 years. Not that difficult to remove. 3 bolts and pop apart the taper pin end. Mine has nylon bushings that can be replaced. Again easy to take apart and replace. Actually, don't need to pop apart the taper pin (unless that end has slop too). just remove the 3 mounting bolts and the top nut to dissassemble.
