Default shifter peg removal

Hey guys

was going to look at adjusting my primary chain and the shifter peg removal is a pain... i got the bolt out... whats the other trick to getting this thing off.... pull straight off or upshift or downshift it and twist the damn thing off... i don't wanna break anything... didn't think this would be that hard to get off without forcing it

trying to take the whole shift lever off

Jam a screwdriver in the slot to open it up a bit

The shifter SHOULD slide straight off if you have the bolt completely out. You could try putting a straight screw driver in the groove and spread it a little bit. Don't go crazy though......I've seen them split in half before.
