Default shifter spline removal

The toe part of my heal toe shifter just striped out, how do i replace the spline ?
I have taken the heel and the toe rods off but dont know how to get the spline out?
Any advice would be great. I ride a 2002 ultra classic elctra glide

Default RE: shifter spline removal

Ever pressed a bearing out? Find a socket the same size as the spline and another that is just a bit larger than the shifter. Put the small one on one side and the larger on the other. Use C-clamp press the smaller socket (and spline) through the insert in the shifter, it will pop the spline into the larger socket. If I read you post right this should do the trick. Use the same set up to insert the new spline. TIP-press it in with a thin film of silacone(sp) caulk to prevent corrosion (dissimilar metal theory).
