Shifter surgery
How the hell do I get the two halves of the shifter apart to install my new shifter gasket/flange/base thing?
|
The two halves of the shifter is bonded together with rubber inside the shifter,so don't even try taking it apart unless you want to go out and buy a new shifter.To get the new gasket/flange on,just spray the thick part of the shifter with wd40 and carefully slide it over the shaft.

Using a Talc Powder also works well. Supposedly covering your new boots with talc lubricates them and lengthen's their life. I don't know if that is true or not I do know that it makes everything slide together nice without the use of oil.

Cool! Thanks guys!

cut off the old one.
i use windex to slip on the new one. |
Talc or windex. Any types of oil will reduce the life span of the new boots. Oil makes the rubber swell and degradate.
I would use the TALC method. |
I think I'm just an idiot. I didn't even think about taking it off the top... I was trying to get it over the damn ball thing!
I just pulled the old one off, and used the Jenna Jamieson method to lube the new one and it slipped right on. |
