Re: Rebuilding a Hurst Shifter
Ok, I got it back in. No way I could have taken pictures of it. Basically need to slip the spring into the handle hole and compress the spring and washer in a vice. Then slide it into the assembly slowly. Once it is close you can use the key and put it thru the opposite end to hold the spring in place so it doesn't go sideways on you. Then with a flat blade and a friend you can massage the spring and washer into place. Didn't take as long as I thought.

Re: Rebuilding a Hurst Shifter
Darren - did you try the "trick" mentioned in the link you posted? I.e., compress spring in vise and tie spring in compressed position with wire. Place spring in place and cut wire.

Re: Rebuilding a Hurst Shifter
I couldn't figure out a good way to do that and juggle the handle end to. Really, once I figured out a strategy it took only a few minutes. I will try and post some photos to describe when I get it all sorted..
