Hi all could someone tell me how to get the gear knob off surely its not a body off to get the gear knob off as I need to re-dye gaiter. Have tried to twist off but seems very tight cannot see any grub screws holding it on? Surely this isn't a TVR stuck on job??

The spherical knob is threaded on, however, it is locked in position by the turned alloy part underneath which is screwed up to meet it - like a locking nut.

Use a big Plumbers wrench on the top half of the knob, use a piece of rag to protect the alloy.
