Gearknob and Gaiter

[BillyBhoy]

Whats the best way to go about fitting a new gearknob and gaiter for my clio(check profile).

Its not easy! Basically you are gonna have to go some with a hacksaw and/or a stanley knife and destroy your existing knob and gaiter before you can get em off! Then youll be able to clamp the new knob on over the metal stick at the top of the gear-stick thats left using the grub screws (make sure its lift-reverse!). Fitting the gaitor should be straight forward enough if it comes with a screw down frame to go at the bottom.

try heating the old knob up for ages with a hairdryer then twisting it as hard as you can.

You might make a bit of a mess on the carpet by the way.

I just re-read my post. Oh my god how easily could that be taken in a different context!
