914World.com _ 914World Garage _ shift rod bushings questions

Posted by: buhs914 Jun 16 2009, 01:37 PM

well this is my first time posting on here and i have a question about the coupler bushings on my 73 with side shift. How the heck do you get that pin out? the pelican parts diagram shows that it comes out but i can't get it..

here's some pics of the coupler and bushings:

The search function here is pretty good. Don't hesitate to ask questions but remember that many have had similar problems. The World is a wealth of 914 info... you just have to sift through it sometimes.

My coupler already had a crack all the way through it and when I hammered the pin out, the pin and the coupler gave way at about the same time!

But, for me it was no major loss as I had all new parts and just needed it off of the shift rod.

Good luck!

If you click on "search titles only" you tend to get a smaller set
of hits that are more likely to be what you want. Otherwise
you can be overwhelmed with "misses" instead of "hits".
