[Enoch]

Hi Folks, just about ready to pull the engine and box out of my donor. It looks like everything will be a lot easier if I remove the gearstick. There seems to be a short stub that comes out of the selector pivot housing, the stick then pushes over that stub and is locked in place with a roll pin. I have removed the roll pin but can not get the gear lever seperated from the stub. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I have looked in the Haynes manual but I can't make any sense of it. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Enoch.
