SOURCE: gear knob

The manual knobs are on there really tight but they're just twisted on. You need to turn like crazy on it to get it loose. You can wrap a towel around it and use channelock pliers or a big wrench if need be.

The clip seems to be a use once and destroy during removal. I used a nylon tie and the home mechanics friend (duct tape) to fasten the new gaiter. Not perfect but quite usable and avoided a trip to the dealer.

SOURCE: how do i remove gear knob and gaiter on 2005 vw

For this year, the knob wasn't screwed on, it was more of a snap on rig. The easiest way is to just get some leverage and pull like hell! Or use a screw driver. Just be careful not to scratch anything! Good luck!

SOURCE: how do i remove a gear knob to replace the leather on a 2006 peugeot 407 2ltr hdi

Look closely at the underside of the gear knob and you will see how to unattach the gater from the lever / knob...

Then you need a very firm grip - twist the gearknob 90 degrees to the left.... once its in that position it will pull off.... may be stiff at this point too - but it should pull off now...

How do I remove the 6 speed manual gear shift knob on my 2011 Peugeot RCZ to change over the gaitor surround. It seems really tight and I thought it would just screw off.

try this the trim around the base of the knob may be threaded and used as a lock nut so try winding it down a touch and see if the knob then unscrews easily

I would like to change the leather part to my automatic Shift Boot I just purchase for my H3 HUMMER 2006 Model, I just need to know how to remove the top shift knob first. Help?

This can be one of those jobs that isn't hard but it's a pain in the backside! I would suggest chocking the wheels and use the handbrake as you may need to take it out of Park to do it. The leather Gaiter is fitted as part of the centre console.
Lift the lid on the centre store box, (where your elbow rests when your driving). On the top edge, level with the latch there should be access to a screw pointing down to the floor. Remove it. The centre panel, (with the cup holders in it), should lift up, screw end first. You might need to put the vehicle in Drive to get enough clearance. This should give you enough access to the underside of the gaiter. There is a small screw holding the shifter grip in place. Remove it and the gaiter and centre console should lift off. The shifter grip might be tight but should 'wriggle' off.
The gaiter should be easier to remove once all this is done.

How do I remove peugeot 306 gear knob

If it's the original knob then you have to remove the gaiter housing (the leather thing around the stick for novices) as the knob extends to under the gaiter and no amount of pulling will remove it without doing this first. It's easy to remove just by lifting from the long edges first and it slips out. The gaiter is secured into the middle of the bottom of the knob by a zippy tie that you have to cut. You can then just pull the whole knob up with a little bit of force but it slips up revealing a white plastic shaft

Screw on the new gear knob. Once tightly fitting, put the gaiterover it.
Top Tip - use a cable tie to keep the new gaitor fitting snug! This stops it slipping down and looking saggy. Clip off the excess off the end of thecable tie.yannis-albums-new+gear+knob++gaiter-picture7966-tip-use-cable-tie-keep-new-gaitor-fitting-snug-audi-tt-leather-gaiter.jpg
