idiot question....

how do you disassemble a turnsignal from the stem. I want to shorten the stock stems in the back, but I cant even get them apart from the actual signal. I looked at the parts diagrams, do i just pull till they come off???

You have to take the bolt all of the way out, it fits into a groove in the shaft. I also helps to put a thick screwdriver or a chisel or some other wedge into the slot to help loosen it from the shaft.

just enough to crack the rust, it comes off fairly hard.

You may also want to put a little Kroil on it and let it work overnight. Ed
