Carefully, removed the upper section of shaft and then install new section in its place. This requires removal of throttle lever and kill switch. Removal of these components requires much care. I have Parkinson's and I shake like a leaf in the wind. This adds to the difficulty in making repairs.
If possible, I would suggest not removing the throttle and kill switch assembly. Simply loosen it and slide the shaft through it.
