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.

huh? bolt? the one that tightens the signal on like a clamp? yeah i removed that one and its still not coming off, how much do i have to pry open that slot??

thanks dude

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

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