What is the trick to get the slotted caps out? I've tried penetrating oil, heat, torque with no luck. Mine also don't have covers to keep dirt out. It's a '48 Truck if it makes a difference.
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Really just use a very large Phillips head screw driver and they should come out. There is nothing else holding them in place. Sometimes the drag link will get bent thru the years and it becomes very hard to get them out.
