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 |

That's what I did. I was originally trying to get a gear puller in there but it would not fit. Tried wedging a piece of wood in there and then banging on the rod to try to get it to move.
I applied PB blaster to the rear of the head, front of the head, and through the cone screw hole. Let it sit for a while, then came back and applied some more. Good tip was shift into 2nd, then stack some wrenches around the front of the shift rod between the case and the head. The wrenches can rest on the top of the exhaust so they don't fall out. Then start pulling on the shift lever to get into 3rd. The shaft popped out after a couple of pulls. Didn't have to pull that hard either.  (I've reproduced what I did in the photo as you can see the rod is already part way out) |
