Need help, problem with short shifter, %^*$*!(&@# can't drive my car ATM Options

[Fietsbel]

I bought a short shifter, only the metal thing.
But i can't get it installed

I have read Coomers How-to article http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=howto&itu=62

But i need some clearance on some point.

what to do, or i'm i doing it incorrect?

After removal of the four bolts, there are two metal pieces that slide into place to hold the shift linkage cables in place(Marked in third photo) that need to be removed. To remove these, I took some pliers and gripped these parts with them, and then I pulled up as I pulled side to side to get the metal pieces out of there. This step requires some force, and you may not believe that those pieces come out, but they do come out if you use enough force.

I pulled (the purple marked things) towards me:


And now pull really hard?

or do i have to do this:

Pull up these purple marked metal things?



i suck

Haha .. you had all the same problems, thats why it took me a few hours, to figure out how to get these things off without breaking them..

The plastic things, just use a pair of pliars and grip, then pull.
