removing gear knob

[gamson]

does anyone have any tips for removing the gear knob on my cerbera. It is the standard alloy round one that screws on but it simply wont budge....

[dan de-lyon]

have you undone the lock nut underneath

[gamson]

is this the collar that is under the gear knob? If so - any tips on shifting it?

yeah thats the one, i could not shift the collar so just continued to turn a very stiff knob till it finally let go.....

You just should not get into your personel problems with nobs?? lol glad it came off so as to say!!!

Looking down at the gear knob the collar turns clockwise to loosen, you may need a pair of grips if too tight. once collar is loose the gearknob will easily unscrew anticlockwise. Grip the collar as low as possible so any grip marks will be hidden by the gaitor on replacement.

Persevere - You need 2 wrenches, wrap cloth round the collar and the knob to protect them, grip the lower collargrip, and the knob with the wrenches, and unscrew the knob.
