Gear shift stuck

I have ordered the bush and boot.
Waiting for them to arrive and give it a go.
Is the rubber boot easy to change?

The boot (45504410003) is £12.66 ~ Dave Silver.
I replaced the "Piston Master Set: 22886MCSG01"
£38.40 from Dave Silver.
I looked on the David silver website and the master set is out of stock.
What was the issue with yours.
 
The job is a slightly fiddly - just needs a little dedicated time.
Check the wear limits (attached).
I removed the Reservoir from the handle bar and tipped it upside down to ensure all the crud is out.
Fowlers charge silly money so it might pay to message Silver and chase the Master Set...
My problem was difficulty getting out of 1st into neutral when stationary with a warm/hot engine.
Don't forget ~ the Reservoir Oil Level is the MINIMUM!

In your picture, I can clearly see the torn end of the boot still attached to the center of the push rod.
You need to remove that.
When you put the new boot in place, it will have a large end, and a narrow end. The push rod will have a square cut end, and a rounded end.
Take the rounded end and insert it into the new boot from the outside (narrow end of boot) keep pushing the rod through the boot until the boot turns itself inside out.
At this point, you will pull the open end of the boot into the channel (middle of the pushrod) and it will snap into place. You then turn the boot back into its correct position.
The rubber boot will have a hard "ring" around the edge of the boot, and this simply presses into the housing. You can use a small dowel or tool to gently push it evenly into place.
