Thanks. Seemed like a pry or squeeze apart but didn’t want to “f” something up.

Yes just take/pop/pry it apart and yes it is a PITA. You might try compressing the grommet on the pointed side and remove the shift rod and the grommet at the same time?

Thanks guys. It was actually really easy to get off. Something about sitting on the tire with no fenders in the way. Makes everything pretty easy except driving my truck. What a rabbit hole I’ve headed down.
