Jim,

The shaft comes apart by removing the split pins in the shaft. You will need a 
very thin punch to get them out. Once you remove the pins you should be able 
to pull the shaft parts through the bushings.

There should be 2 split pins, one that connects the lever that connects to the 
carb linkage and one on the drivers side that connects the metal petal bush to 
the shaft.

If the pins are damaged, you can get new ones at TRF.

There is a diagram on the parts list on page 104 Plate V.

If you need a copy of the parts list it is available somewhere on the net or 
you can send me a email and I will send it to you.
