The Damn thing won't come off. i have got a 1988 SE and i would like to replace the shifter **** but the thing wont even budge. does anyone know how to get these things off. i dont want to just try do hard that i break something. Is there a trick to it??? Thanks a lot to anyone with help.....

 

Please, anyone with help or suggestions is greaty appreciated, I am desperate and dont know what to do so, thanks to any of you wiht suggestions.

 

counter-clockwise

 

No trick to it... they just screw right off. But remember....

Lefty loosey, Righty tighty

Thats all you need.

 

funny... does the SE have the locknut? my 88 GXL had it so you had to use a wrench to loosen the locknut before you can twist the top off. In any case, if you DO have th locknut, just loosen it with a twist counterclockwise i BELIEVE, then the **** shoul djust come off. If you dont, then just be careful whlie removing it by twisting it counterclockwise.

Peace,
AJ ^_^
