It's just a collar and a spline. Will just slip apart. Leave it in neutral and be careful with the speedo attachment..it's plastic and can break off. Ask me how I know...:rolleyes:
Also use some grease to hold the big oring that goes around the housing. They have a habit of moving as everything goes back together. Don't forget the hidden bolt under the trim tab.
