Gearknob Removal?

[jamesc 3]

Have a new gaiter that i'd like to fit but how is the standard knob removed without damaging it?

 

Thanks

Pull like buggery and dont smack yourself in the nose!!

The end of the gearstick is barbed, so it doesn't unscrew as such, but if you twist it back and forth while pulling then it should come off.

Great, cheers lads.

I don't have trouble getting them off, its keeping the bast**ds on. On my last rally the bloody thing came off three times !

That's what you get when you pull your knob too often harryskid

James, I replaced my gaiter by carefully pulling it over the gearknob, so no need to remove it - is it one of those £8 ebay leather ones? If so they fit over the 'knob.

Yer you caught me there!

If the knob is anything like mine then it won't come off no matter how hard you twist and pull.. I had to cut mine off! The one i'm replacing it with came off a 206 stick very easily though..

I've glued mine with gripfill and it seems ok at the moment. Hope it don't come off in my hand midstage !. O thats sounds bad
