Got it off. The bushing in question is so far gone I would have to be convinced one was there in the first place if I didn't already know it for sure. Thanks for all the info, very helpful. Next fun thing is about to begin after the shifter. I just bought a tubing bender and a new sawzall blade. Tops coming off and full rollcage going in. Anybody need a factory sunroof and rear slider, cheap?
