1966 Automatic Column Shifter Removal

[Thiessen1960]

I am wondering if you just punch the pin out that holds the column shifter in place? It is so I can ship it without risking it breaking or anything bad happening to it. If someone could let me know asap how to remove this and if they are easily put back together that would be great.

Thanks.

yes that's all you need to do, punch out the pin that holds it in. Carefully. Try not to crack the rubber cover.
