Should be a hex flat ring and some flats on the shaft, but if it's
already loose this is not a problem. Might unscrew a bit to give it
more travel.
The rubber boot is missing, it pushes over the riing to keep dirt and
corrosion to a minimum.
I have found that you must get the shaft out of the front fitting
first, it's difficult to pull the rear forward that much. Let the
center mount droop and push the front piece back firmly -- it will
move back enough to allow you to drop the shaft down at an angle and
clear the pin in the front mount.
It can be quite a wrestling match if you are up on jack stands
instead of a lift.
