removing pills from the tcase

[berg bronco]

I have a t shift that im trying to remove the detent pills I have one pill out and I can see the other one but it wont come out do I need to remove the other shift rail to get it out? I thought I read on another thread that I only needed to pull one rail out.

i was under the impression the entire t-case has to be taken apart??????

Yes. If you remove the front rail you can get them both out. If you already have one out it should be easy. Looking at your pics you've taken the rear rail out.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but IIRC, the front shift rail and fork are the last things out, and the first things back in (on a complete tear down). Seems I remember having a helava time getting that allen head screw outta that shift fork. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's been a while since i was that deep into my case.

As long as you can get to the allen screw it can be done without taking the front shaft and gears out.

that set screw is a pain to get to! Ill let you know how it goes

if you have a small pick-up magnet you can reach into the hole and should be able to get the pill out.

I've seen stock springs that were different colors; red, white and blue. They were all about the same size though. I recommend new springs when rebuilding the tcase. Old springs lose their tension.
