Get your shifter off Christian, and I just knock out the bearing ring using a large flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer, few taps around and it will begin to move then just fall out.

Just use the Puma shifter. Half the price and just as good.

Puma shifter works well as we done it on my bro's FRST but it can't hold a candle to the B&M.
