Default Easy one - vent *****

OK, here's an easy one. I need to remove the vent ***** on my '69 so that I can remove the shifter plate and access the shifter boot retainer. I don't want to ruin the ***** on the two levers.

Do/how do they come off the levers or do the levers need to be removed themselves?

Thanks, Tom

Wow, they must be - I checked before posting and didn't see them. My 46 year old eyes aren't that good up close anymore.

You should see me try to tie a fly on a leader

Anymore, I just keep the glasses by the garage door. Put 'em on as soon as I walk in. If not, I won't realize I need them until I'm under the car. Then it's a real PITA.

Saves me a step.
