Getting ready to replace my stock AD steering ball studs and tie rod for
newer tie rod and tie rod ends to achieve wheel clearance.  I remember
seeing a process for removing the ball studs on original AD truck spindle
steering arms to replace with newer tie rod end types.  Now I'm ready, I
can't find the article; not even in the shop manual.  I believe one starts
by grinding, or drilling, the flat side of the ball stud and then beat the
stud out.  Can anyone give me some advice on this?  Thanks in advance.
