Yes, the "ball support" has a short threaded "male" stub at the top that screws into the bottom of the shaft. |

Oh, and the ball support pliers are a rare critter. They have rather wide curved ends to them to conform to the round shape of the support. Without the specialized tool you just have to be inventive. It is possible an auto supply store may have such a pliers. |

Well you better wrap the ends with tape or something soft, so as not to tear the rubber. I think a lot of my concern would be with not wanting to mash the damned thing out of round. |
