I was trying to show Richard how to get it apart too.. and I wasn't having much luck popping it apart cause I didn't have the fork to preload it. On my accord I used to have I'd just wedge the end of a wrench in there to make some load
and then just one good whack and it would pop right apart.. same as doing an idler arm on these trucks.
