If you have a bench vise that's the way to go. My method was a little more basic.
I removed the shift rod with coupler attached and sprayed it with penetrating oil. I took a block of wood (actually a piece of landscaping timber) and drilled a hole a little larger in diameter than the pin in the coupler and deeper tham the length of the pin. I placed the coupler on this block with the pin centered on the hole and gently tapped the pin into the hole using a hammer and punch. Gently, because as stated above the coupler is somewhat fragile. It looks like cast aluminum or pot metal and is probably brittle. In my case the pin came out with relative little force from the hammer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Remove the old bushings and replace with new from the inside of the coupler. Reposition on the shift rod and tap the pin back in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Be patient and don't force it. Replacement couplers aren't cheap! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |
