I am replacing all the bushings in my tail shifter linkage but had problems at the shifter balls (#53 in the schematic).
How are they removed? Didn't want to damage anything else in the process. Thanks, Brian  |

There is a crush washer you can see in the diagram, you can simply pull it off. The problem you will have is installation, it may not crush enough to hold as well. I drop or two silicone will help (do not use allot if you ever want to be able to remove).

Many of them are stuck in there, some with a vacuum behind the plastic cup if the vent hole is plugged. It's an easy fix.
Solidly mount the shift lever, like in a vice with aluminum jaws or something to protect the shaft, Then don protective goggles and gloves and firmly hold the ball-socket. Blow compressed air into the vent hole. It'll pop right out. Then separate the ball from it's plastic cup. Lubricate it, replace the cup and stick it back in there. I like silicon lube. Dooop... wrong piece, sorry. Oh well somebody didn't know this. |

DO NOT try and pull it off with you head directly over the shifter.... in a position like you were drinking something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Just about gave myself a black eye... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |
