Where to buy a shifter removal tool?

[motoloco]

I have removed many a shifters from 3 and 4 speeds with two screwdrivers no problem, not gonna happen with this stiff-ass spring in my 79'. Does toyota sell the tool?

I made one out of a section of muffler pipe. Do a search and you'll find what you're looking for.

Never has one yet that I couldn't push down and rotate by hand.....

I used a pair of channel locks that have a rubber coating on the handles. The rubber gripped nicely when I pushed down and turned it. Are you sure you're turning it the right direction?

I did this and it always worked:

You should find what you're looking for here Welcome to SPX Toyota if they still sell it.

I used needle nosed vise grips. Press down and clamp lightly. Then turned ring by hand. Might need to spray something to loosen the old grease. Jeff

With all the half-donkey, creative things I do on my FJ40, sometimes it’s nice to have the right tool for the job. And I think this same tool works across the board on a lot of different Cruisers. I bought mine from Toyota; SOR has it too (but it cost more there I think). Took the Toyota parts people a few weeks to get it – kind of a special order. I’ve read here (Mud) that you turn cc to remove, but my FSM shows a short, clockwise turn to remove and mine just came right off. The other remover on the box is for my old 80 pickup.

Oh shiat! I totally forgot about it and I was at Sears picking some Craftman cabinets for the garage.

Two big screw drivers one in each hand one on a angle forward away from you one on a angle towards you push down and twist. Works everytime I have done it.
