General how do i remove the gear knob?

[kopite77]

Hi just bought an x reg 2000 1.9 scudo, need to remove the gear knob so that i can fit a new gaiter. I have tried pulling and twisting but it doesnt seem to budge,dont want to use too much force in case i do some damage is there a specific method that i need to use?? Any help would be much appreciated (its just a standard manual gear stick)

Managed to get it off!!
turn to the left (with a bit of brute force!) so that the gear knob is upside down then pull it up and off

Hi kopite 77, I know this post was years ago, but it’s the only one I could find!! I just how did you remove the gear stick knob, like you don’t want a major disaster on my hands

Hi kopite77, I realise the post is a long time ago, but it’s the only one I could find. Just how did you get the knob off of the gear stick? Thanks
