cory321 · 01-02-2008, 05:12 PM

GREASEMONKEY72 · 01-02-2008, 05:38 PM

ratrod67 · 01-02-2008, 05:40 PM

When I replaced mine I used a dremel tool to split the side.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 01-02-2008, 08:36 PM

If you want to save it, set it in a bowl of boiling hot water too soften the plastic up. It'll come off.

Longhorn Man · 01-03-2008, 05:28 AM

And if you don't wanna save it, vise grips and a hammer should do the trick if you don't have a cut off wheel ore dremel tool.

Or, I've got a bus-load of middle-school boys I can send to you. Tell them to "LEAVE IT ALONE", then turn your back and VOILA! It'll be done.

cory321 · 01-04-2008, 04:21 PM

I used a punch and drove the pin out.Then the lever should just pull out

1bad67fleet · 01-04-2008, 04:24 PM

Heat it and pull off

GREASEMONKEY72 · 01-06-2008, 08:00 AM

cory321 · 01-06-2008, 01:59 PM
