Removing column shifter

How do you remove the column shifter from the steering column? I need to paint mine.


Thanks!

The shift collar flange which holds the lever, or just the shift lever? The wheel must be removed to get at the collar, you will need a steering wheel puller. The lever is held to the flange by two small stepped inserts with springs behind them as original.

Yes, just the arm itself. Do you just tap out the inserts?

If its the original you have to press those peices together that hold it on that Bill is talking about. Although some aftermarket ones have a pin with groves in that press in, and you'll have to press it out in one peice.
