71 K-20 4-spd shift & transfer case levers
 

I want to repaint these and wondering how hard it is to remove them. Is it is a matter of punching out a roll pin, or would I find it much easier just to repaint it in the truck?

Tranny:
BLOCK WHEELS
place tranny in Neutral
remove knob
remove boot
use a channel lock pliers to press down on the "pivot ball" and turn CCW to remove

If you look at the side of the shift tower there is a pin on each side and that ball just has tabs that keep the shifter in... just like a tail light bulb.

T-case:
place lever where it is easiest to get to the pin on the bottom.
remove knob
remove boot
remove cotter pin and clevis pin
remove bolt that holds lever to side of adapter

You can also paint them by removing the knobs and boots, mask off everything around them and paint them installed

Got the tranny shifter out, thanks!

t-case looks pretty easy other than some possible contortionist moves.
