Default Replacing Linkage Bar

Probably a stupid question but I am new to the Harley world. I have a 10 RKC and looking to replace the stock linkage bar. The Harley directions just say to remove the old one. I can see there is a nut on the back of the front but not on the rear. How do you get this thing off lol? Help an old man out?

Thanks

Mike

I am pretty sure one has a nut and the other is a bolt that unscrews. I have had two of the stock ones to fail.

If you are replacing the shift linkage, get a new one with Heim joints at the ends.

P.S. Welcome to the Touring Family.
