Default Need help with Akrapovic exhaust install

Hey guys, on the factory exhaust valve actuator/diaphragm rod, there is 2 sections to the rod the male threaded end from the actuator and the other female end that attaches to the ball mount on the butterfly valve. Does the female rod end on that little ball come come off?

Or is my Akrapovic exhaust missing that piece? My akra only has the ball mount.

Or is there a special tool to separate the threaded female rod end from the ball. Please help, I have my exhaust already off the car just trying to get the akrapovic on. Thanks

Never mind guys I got it off. The person I bought it from told me that the rod pops off with a screwdriver. It worked, I feel like a dummy now lol
