My zero turn has a "snubber cylinder" attached to each control lever so they kind of stay in place and don't move on their own. On one side the attachment unscrewed from the rod. I need to screw it back together, maybe with loctite, but don't know how to pop the plastic piece off the ball to do so.

There seems to be a metal clipmovervthevtop that locks it in place. Is there a special tool to remove the cap? Or is it a case of just using something to force it off?

What model Hustler? I've removed the gas struts from my Older Z before, belive I had to pry off the plastic back cap in order to release it. If its the same I'll try to take a look at mine when I get home in the morning (if I can remember).

Is it connected like a gas strut?

About like that. I guess I just need the right sized screwdriver to pry the spring clip up or off. Does the clip stay attached? Or does it fly off into the weeds never to be seen again?

It'll stay on, but still be easy on it. I rotate the screwdriver tip instead of prying.
