Gear Knob removal

Postby Gareth » Thu 18.12.2008, 19:15

I,ve bought a new lotus embossed gear knob (on flea bay) but I can't figure out how to get the factory fitted one off!!!

I've located and undone the one grubscrew on the one Lotus fitted : this now revolves on the shaft, but I can't pull it off!!

Can anyone provide me with some (idiot proof) help?

Ray,

Thanks for the prompt (idiot proof) reply/instructions.
Worked a treat, old one off, new one on in less than 5 minutes
Looks great (I think) even though it comes from Hong Kong!!
Ta very much for the help

Ahh - I never saw that because they don't list shipping outside of Europe in the auction (so it won't show up on US ebay searches)

Edit: they do sell to USA (just didn't check the right box on ebay I suppose)... it's ordered :-)
