if your talking about the rod end, I use a pair of side cutters, put slight tension on the rod next to the rod end while turning the rod end, if your talking about the piston, use a small screw driver to release the e clip... |

I use a pair of thin vise grips. attach just enough to keep it from spinning. I have yet to mess up the shaft. I'm just careful imo
