The grommet is shot and I need to rebuild this 35 year old assembly anyway, but for the LIFE of me I can't figure out how to pop this shaft out.
Everything I've seen has a C/E clip holding the shaft in and either I'm blind or this doesn't have it.
I've also read that sometimes the grommet metal rusts onto the shaft and that's why it's damn near impossible to get it out, but
I'm not sure this is the case and I don't want to ruin the whole thing by applying too much force.
Thoughts, recommendations?
