Sorry to post again about this, but I am having a heck of a time separating the Top and Bottom half's of the AX-5 Shifter.
I've got a torn boot and a new one, but to replace the torn boot I have to separate the 2 half's of the shifter.
I've tried screw drivers driven into 3 of the 4 sides of the joint, even cut strips of sheet metal to force in there. I can get 3 of the 4 tabs force back somewhat, but the lower half will NOT budge in moving out of the top half.
The one tab, I haven't been forcing back, is the one that the lower half of the shifter bends toward, just not enough space.
Anyone got any Suggestions, How-To's, a lead on any special tools that may help?
