308 Steering Rack Inner Bushing Replacement

I have not been able to find a post on how to replace the inner bushing on the steering rack of a 308. Most of it seems pretty strait forward but the removal of the passenger side tie rod is not clear. It looks like there is a pin that has been driven through the male and female threads of the connector to lock it in the desired position.

I am assuming I need to drill it out (size?) and then unthread it.

I have the Cam Gears rack ('79 US GTS).

 

I consulted with a local mechanic. The components are threaded and then locked in place with a pin. Time to break out the drill.

 

Thanks for the confirmation.
