This is a guide for removing the 5 speed gear knob. Probably the same for the 6 speed one but not sure about the pull up collar bit. Inspired to make this after Nauest came and got my nob off me as his was worn from over use. :hand:
So anyway here we go....
1. Twist the nob lots. Its not going to come easily. If you look at one that has been removed then you will see it has two tabs which means that it can only come off at 90 degrees.
2. Pull like feck whilst twisting WARNING - Do not hit yourself in the face when it suddenly comes off!

3. Its off.

Putting it back on is the opposite of removal.
We didnt quite get around to that bit so we half put it on but it came off in Neds hand which meant he had to stop driving feet away from my drive and try and refit it!
EDIT: Apparently its easier to fit the knob once its warmed up so perhaps get a hairdrier on it!

Hope this tutorial helped
tbh the main point is dont be afraid to give your nob a good tug. Do watch out for sore hands and pulling the leater outer skin off though!
Now that you have got a spare nob lying around why not use it alongside your actual nob? THe silver disk part with the gear location comes out of the top of the nob and can easily with a bit of drilling and sanding be made into an epic key chain! Tutorial to come for that one! :dance:
