Please dumb this down for me...I just can't figure out how to get the shaft out of the sunvisor on our '80 to put in the new bushings that're here. I can get the clip off no problem, but the shaft won't pull out. What am I doing wrong?

remove the cap,remove the clip,remove the spring-nothing left holding it unless bubba did something to it.
edit-Oops you are talking about the square sliding shaft,its been awhile since I;ve done one of those if I have one in the shop I'll take it apart and get back to you.
Edit-your not doing anything wrong -its just hard to pull out of there
remembering back I had to trim the new bushing to get them back in-they had extra plastic on the edges-I looked at some new ones I have in stock and the y are just as bad.you'll just have to work with it-if you do trim dont do much

I just can't figure out how the heck to get it out of there (the square shaft, that is). It's REALLY in there.
