Hi,
I am replacing a leaky seal for my Chevy Prizm 99 (same as Corolla) at the manual tranaxle. It's the oil seal for the shift selector shaft to the transaxle housing. I removed the linkage but cannot remove the arm from the shaft that slides in and out and also rotates. I have to remove the arm to get the old seal out and put the new on in. The only pin can possibly be the key to release the arm is in the indentation on the broze arm (see picture). But I couldn't move the bolt inside the indentation. It looked round. Tried hex wrench but it did not grab. Has anyone done this before? Am I doing it right? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
