Hi,
The plastic cover for my side shifter linkage is not installed. To install it, I need to separate the shift rod from the shift rod end. Separate #27 from #24 in this diagram... (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/Parts/Pedals/shift_linkage_side_big.jpg) Any tips? I have the tapered screw out (#23), but the two pieces seem very tightly joined. I have searched, but most refer to the joint close to the firewall. Will I be able to replace the plastic cover with just this joint removed, or will I need to take off the firewall joint as well. Thanks, Walter |

Once the cone screw is out, you certainly could use a small, two pronged gear puller. Just be careful about putting too much pressure on the shaft to cause the mushrooming. If the tip of the gear puller starts indenting the end of the shaft, you will have problems getting things back together. Patience and PB Blaster should do the trick.
