Ouch I might have let my mouth overload my spine. Was more of a strain on the back than I thought but I did manage to get the MC disconnected from the booster and the booster disconnected from the firewall. However, it appears that there is a permanent rod coming out of the booster and thru the firewall that has a U-bracket with a pin and cotter key which keeps it from just slipping out as Mike and Roger mentioned. That may be something that I will have to recruit some help to remove but nevertheless, at least I have begun the process.

Gonna take an Ibuprophen and quit for the day.

Thanks again for the help.

P.S. You hit the nail on the head, Kurt. As I mentioned, I am dieing to go to the first Cruise here on Jan. 9th - - - Gonna be touch and go tho.
