how to remove linkage

[Cutter26]

I don't want to do any more damage to my linkage and steering column, how do I get the rod off my trans linkage. My truck is a 95 automatic 3.0. I think I have to change the entire linkage but can't get it off. Plus I lost the nut that hold the metal linkage to the trans. Does anyone know off hand what size it might be. It is a metric fine thread nut.
