I decided to replace the ball socket on my 1970 shifter . I didn't realize the plate springs were under so much tension. I haven't found a way to put them back.
Any body have an idea ? |

Oh yeah...good times with those springs!
I put one end in the housing and grabbed the other end with vice grips to compress the spring...took a couple tries, but I finally got it. As others suggested - wear safety glasses in case the spring flies! |
