Help me! Before I get the BFH out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
How do you get the shift coupler off the rear shift rod? Hammer and punch or press? Thanks Van |

If you are talking about the front coupler on the rear shift rod, then a proper sized socket under the coupler and a gentle tap or three with a hammer and punch should get the pin out. I have heard of some being pretty difficult and others may chime in here, but, the coupler is aluminum, so guess what will break first.
Good luck. I did a thread on here a few years ago about making some home made bushing that you can search and find if you have an interest. I found new stock bushings a little loose due to wear of the rod and coupler. Tom |

Takes a couple good whacks but after the pin starts to move it comes out real easy. Stock bushings seemed fine to me, but my setup was in pretty good shape, I probably didn't even need to replace those bushings but I had them so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
