« on: 15 May 2013, 21:48 »
anybody know how to remove the little rose joints from the gear shift assembly?. and i don`t mean remove from the cables by twisting and pulling the little plastic foreskin clips back on the springs...  :smiley:

Yank it off. You can use a small spanner as a lever if you need help easing it off.

Theres a little metal clip on top of them, flat head to pop them of then just press them back on.
