I think there rusted in might have to heat them up. I already have the press tool and got the uppers out. the lower ones will not budge at all. The replacement parts came with a lock ring. Does the orginal one have a lock ring on it? I cant see it..

Nevermind. Just needed more leverage on my breaker bar to bust her loose. Nothing holding it but rust...
