It’s a fairly major effort to swap out the shaft on a Weber, correct?
I have a pair of 40s we are the shafts are mismatched, the other one does not have this extension on it and I need both to be the short style. This is for the 912 but air cooled Porsche so I figured why not ask here. Thanks!  |

It makes sense that there isn't enough room for a regular nut. Probably a barrel nut. Put an Allen head down there and hold the shaft. You might also turn in the idle screw so the throttle plates are not touching the carb throats, and turn the Allen wrench against that.

I don’t see a way for the shaft to separate, I asked for some help over at the 912 forum and one member over there said the shafts are one piece. |
