replacing the shift rod coupler bushings
===============HELP ADVICE WANTED=============
I removed the rear tranny shift rod coupler and am trying to replace the plastic bushings that are held in the diecast aluminum housing. I am trying to figure out how to push out the steel pin that is pressed into the splined steel yoke that is captured between these bushings. I tapped on it hard with a hammer and punch and it don;t budge. I had researched the forums already with the search feature and cannot find any specific forum post that deals with removing this pin and replacing these particular bushings. I don't have a press at home but a good bench vise and some hand tools. How do I remove this center pin? Don;t want to break the aluminum coupler housing in the process. Fred

Mr. Fred,
I can't help you with pounding your pin "no pun intended here" but I do have a very good coupler you can have. I just installed my Wevo and a new Stomski coupler. If you get me an address I'll send you my original. Wouldn't want to see you break your pin pounding it and be without a means of coupling. Cole

I put a small socket on one end of the pin to push it through, and a big socket on the other end to let it come out, put the whole assembly into a bench vise, get out the blow torch and heat her up a lil bit. then start sqeezing the vise. it'll slide right out.

I placed a socket just wide enough to cover the bushings open side up on the ground using wood to absorb and then used the punch out with a hammer to push the pin through...
Nothing like using a hammer
