the shaft is actually held in place with a slide in clip on the back side of the front of the chassis. Remove it and the shaft will slide out of the VC and all the way out of the chassis. There is a small clip on the end of the shaft that goes into the VC. Don't lose it. It's there to take up some loosenes that would otherwise be in the linkage.
