hey iv been ytring to get my shift lever of (as one of my friends rung either the lever of the shaft f*cking retard ) so i loosned the bolt took it out and no matter what i do it wont budge and help ?? :-/ X(

try to get a flat head screw driver between the end where it bolt together and twist it to pry the ends apart.

^^^ tried that , nothing ..

 

[scotj77]

did you try tapping it in with a hammer like a wedge? just be nice when you do it. don't want to beat the hell out of it. this worked for me

I used a flat head to just shimmy it for about 5 minutes until it finally loosened up

it appers to be both ... so i move the shifter out towards the edge ( better thread but small amound ) and i snapped the head of the bolt off so in the morning i will take it out with the nippes ( from the bottom ) put a new screw in and put a lil weld on the inside to stop it slipping then its whoever buys it off me fault lol .... some guy said hell swap a rappy 660 for ot but he wants a lil bit of money with it just waiting to see how much money lol

Try getting a socket (bigger sized then the shaft) and hold it over the end and bang it with a hammer.

Another option for someone in the same scenario is to try a little heat from a torch which will expand the metal a bit to ease removal.
