[STUKICKSASS]

Anyone tell me how to remove the gearknob? I have tried turning it anti-clockwise with a reasonable amount of force but the bugger seems loathe to move

The gearknob was almost certainly put on with a locking glue. The threat is a standard anticlockwise thread so should undo OK once the seal has been broken. You might try a hairdryer on the metal shaft for a few moments first to help things along.
Good luck!

Yeah Max is right as had the same prob with mine. It is so stiff but once you get a good grip on it you'll find you can get it off quite quickly.

Thought I done quite well their .

STICKY KNOB? YES, A BIG AND COMMON PROBLEM, WHAT YOU NEED IS A NICE FIRM BUT NOT TIGHT GRIP AND TRY SHUFFLING IT ABOUT A BIT, THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

DONT WORRY, YOU ARE NOT ALONE

HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hi again Max.

Seriously though I ended up getting some mole grips and a cloth to get me started. Once I got it moving I reverted to using me hands and just before the final bit finished off one-handed.

Now I have a new TITANIUM one fitted I have been known to creep out in the garage once in a while for a quick fondle. Something about precious metals isn't their .

Hope you haven't got too much glue on it this time......
