Help, foolish beginner question!
 

Right, I kno this is a bit . . . . pathetic, but i cant seem to get the god damn standard gear knob off of the VTR. I tried reading up but all i can find is stuff about the plastic bit not actually removing the knob!

any help would be appreciated even tho its laughable haha

Try sticking it in 4th and pulling like youve never pulled before lol. Be careful not to hit your head on the roof though lol.

It does need a good ol' tug!

There is always the last resort of hacksawing around the base of the knob!

mine came off well easily but if not

get in the back seats, wack it in 4th thn pull...

ok, heres the report lol. I whacked it in 4th, braced myself, put a soft hat on just in case. then proceeded to pull as hard as possible.

result! it did come off, but i still managed to punch myself in the face in the process.

thanks for the help :D

lol doh :)

lmao, no probs :)

lol, note to self, when attempting this, where a crash helmet ...lol
