Can anyone tell me how to remove the 2 hard plastic swivel parts from the shifter? I need to replace the shifter internal boot and these pieces are in the way.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.[attachment=87433:unnamed (1).jpg]

 

ive only replaced the ball, its a tight on and off.

 

When I replaced mine it had already broken.

 

How did you get the new one on? I am wanting to remove both pieces so I can put the small shifter cover on. It looks like it has to go on from the small end. Thanks for the reply

 

How did you get the new one on?
Thanks

 

I just gave it a good tap against the wall. Probably better to use a piece of wood or something, it has to be snapped in, forcing it won't work, you could probably tap it on with a rubber mallet. You have to do it in one tap, no beating on it like a drum.

 

Thanks, that makes sense. I have parts on order will give it a try

 

5 min soak in hot water makes them go on and off very easy.

 

Thanks Billman. I should get the new ones in a couple days. Will be glad to get this taken care of.
