Hello, I have a replacement to install on mine and have tried a number of times to take the old one out but to no avail. Found the set screw which adjusts the friction for the lever and was able to remove the pull out knob, but can not find a way to get the exterior housing off to separate the lever side from the mechanical side in the locker... Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Need to replace as the pull out shift disconnect has become unrelaiable and will leave the engine in gear regardless of the position of the knob ( I found that the sleeve which the knob passes through has begun to break down altering the available travel of said knob... after 40 years this part is ready to be changed out..
Best,
