OEM steering damper

[fcgadget]

Just got the suggested Monroe replacement. Wish the supplied bolts were a 1/4" longer, but...t
Tried taking the mounting 'bolts' off of the old damper thinking they had grease fittings and might be a better system than just shoulder bolts, but I can't get them off. Tried a puller and pickle fork and a BFH all without any luck.

Maybe they are an integral part of the OEM damper?
