Have you tried to do a keyword search? :wink:
Well, I donĀ“t know if this article gives the information you are searching for? See the second scan, pic #9:

I can't see the pin you need to push in BRADGROTT's photo?

But there will be a pin or a hole to push a wire in or something like that.

Well let us consult the workshop manual that some people are too tight to pay for (mention no names). :wink: :P

A bright man can always work around the factory tool problem.

No special tools needed. Was very easy to acomplish with screwdrivers and a steering wheel puller. In fact looking for a few old ones to refurbish and sell on ebay to help finace my project.

I count anything that is not a regular hand tool item as a special tool. Anything simple like that I generally make myself. In this case a metal plate with a couple of holes in it and two bolts. It doubles up as a crank pulley removal tool too. :D
