Referring to the late (’73) shift linkage...

The “914 Engine Removal Made Easy” Tech article reads:

The shift linkage is attached to the front shifter bar by a coupling that is held in with a cone screw…Remove this screw…Next, move towards the rear of the car, and remove the cone screw from the rear shift coupling…The shifter bar should now slide out of the coupling in the front and rear, and can be removed by feeding it through the motor mount bar.

Ok, great. But what if it doesn’t slide right out?

I’d love some suggestions on how to remove a stuck bar from the coupler. It is really stuck at both the front and rear, and I can only spray on so much WD40 to loosen it up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
