The sift cable `s black plastic sleeve comes off first. loosen the 2 square head screws and pull off. loosen the locknut on the shaft and unscrew the guide with the brass barrel. some mercruiser cables have the brass barrel pined" at 6 inches
A good gimbal bearinf fell like spinning your finger in a jar of Vaseline

But my big issue now is getting that round brass shift cable nut off, extraction tool ? Or those special gripping sharp sockets ?

If you mean this nut, usually 1 in 10 had water in there and it breaks and needs to be drilled out and retapped with the correct tap.Not a hard job.
