G/day all.
We put a bodylift in my Vitara during the weekend(post some photos soon

).
I trimmed some body work around both gear shifts but it is still not quite right

I still want to keep my console fitted, so i have decided to remove both gearshifts & bend them so they are not binding up around the body & rubber boots...
I do need some advice help on how to remove both gear shifts..
do i just remove the 2x 12mmbolts each side of the shifts & pull these out...
Do i have to look out for anything on removing these.(springs/clips etc)
Is it easy to refit....
Here is a photo of the main gear shift.
And here is the transfer gear shift...
Can i just bend these or do i have to heat these up first
thanks smally
