Removing gear ****?

I've got a brand spanking new Mulliner gear **** waiting to be fitted, anyone removed and fitted one before? Is it easy and do I need any tools?



Thanks,
G

Hi Gurdas,

I've installed mine few months ago. There are several threads before about this topic. BentleyTech posted a diagram which is very helpful. You can do a search.

I used an old credit card to wedge between the gear ****. Find the place that has the largest gap and wedge your card it. Slowly wiggle your card across the entire **** to increase the gap. Eventually, you will be able to pop off the old ****.

You need to be patience and do it slowly. Don't use any metal instrument because it will nick you gear shifter.

Thanks for the help, finally fitted, the sleeve was pretty easy to move down by hand, bit tricky to pull it back up though once the new **** was fitted but managed to do it eventually with a bit of jiggling around.
