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

I could have used this thread a week ago when i put mine it, I just played it by ear (major thanks to coomers how-to) I read and re-read durring the install. but yeah thats how ya do it. my kit maid it really hard to install the spacers, the new bults where longer then the stock but not long enough to make it easy, the hardest part was pushing down on the bult and truning wile trying to line it up, and get the threads to grip. just an fyi when you install it in the car, (if you have not yet)
