Looking at this photo of the 57 truck spring pin bushing and retaining bolt I think the plan is to get a bolt that will thread into the grease fitting threads and then pull that out with a slide hammer. You might have to make yourself a home made eye bolt for that purpose to catch it with the hook on the slide hammer. Or make and adapter that will catch the head of the bolt.
