Ok, I assume these things, indent balls, are just rusted in place. I had to hit them with a punch several times to compress them so I could get the lever off. But, now how do I get them uncompressed?

Both indent-cup/sides (that you punched in) are held in place by shift mount. There is only a small spring in between the indent cup pins that shoots out (and lose) if you aren't careful-normally. They should just fall out.
 
I was able to punch them through and are now sitting in penetrating fluid. I'll try and put them back in and see what happens.
 
do the 1972 Production Year folks know that they NOW have a 100% Period Correct TOYOTA Japan Spec. parts option on the Table

now ?

Matt, do you sell the female connector for this? I just got a new assembly from the dealer, but it doesn't have the connector like this one. Just loose bullet connectors.

Unfortunately I don't think I can return it...I've already tapped the threads for it. Unless the two parts can be broken up?
 
i don't know what you refer to ?

It's circled in this picture. They don't come tapped....at least mine didn't. It's a 10x1.25 thread pitch.


i have NEVER seen or heard of personally a TOYOTA Genuine part that had to be FIELD Threaded in any way ever by the consumer at any level ?

Are the ones you have threaded? If not, you'll see that a 10x1.25 bolt will not fit in that opening.
 
I've purchased 2 that were for early LC and were factory threaded.
I got mine from the dealer, but I guess some have them and some don't? I don't understand it either, but oh well....lol.

TOYOTA NEVER sold any parts you had to or have to create Threads with a tap or die that i have ever heard of ?
