Hey Carl : I had the same problem with my 55 2nd .I sprayed a little WD 40 on
the splines then put the nut back on so it was flush with the end of the rod. I
then put a piece of wood between the firewall and the rod .Then I
used a hammer and gentle tapped it off. It only took a couple of raps and came
right out with no damage to any thing. hope this helps
George
55 2nd
