yenpit Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 If the ball type linkage connections you are referring to are like the factory USA spec Hitachi linkage at the firewall, yes, carefully pry apart. There is a tiny hole on the back of the plastic ball cup..........you can squirt some WD40 around it, hope some gets thru the hole, which will lubricate & perhaps allow it to pop off easier. I always lightly grease mine when re-assembling! If your Mikuni set up has the aftermarket metal type of ball/socket, I think they had a small spring steel clip, but same idea........yes, carefully pry apart! Quote Link to comment
