eglaisi_91pathy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) I got a Hurst T-handle shifter off ebay. I tried getting the stock shift handle off, but it wont budge, and ends up hurting me in some way: slipped and hit head on dash etc . Any tricks getting the bastard off? BTW its 91 XE Edited October 25, 2006 by eglaisi_91pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx_flatlander Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Im also pretty sure that they use some sort of loctite or something. I dont remember my 5 speed shifter being that bad. However, the transfer case selector was a major PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eglaisi_91pathy Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I he-manned the crap outta it for like 2 min and finally got it off... felt like I broke 2 knuckles, but at least its off. While I was feeling strong, I yarded off the 4WD ball as well, i lubed both and replaced them. Anyone know what size nut would fit on the 4WD lever? I want to make a ball for that one, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 The transfer case shift knob on my truck will not bugde at all.. three people (including myself) have tried in the past. If I ever "have to" remove it I will prolly break out some channel locks or vise grips and just replace it with another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
