pull it straight off.

not funny, but factually correct.

you might be a able to drill it out to a tight fit.
or if its a plastic sleeve type, just force it on.
my pool ball knob was drilled a couple of mill loose, then i just put a loop of card in the hole shalf to make it a supersnug solid fit.

Re: gear knob
It's only nature-all.
Yeah my second is getting pretty ropey, so it hit the (what felt like the shifter) gate, or it's just out of alignment, and it kind of just flew out of my hand

Re: gear knob
They normally come with a few different diametered plastic sleeves for multi fitting. I'm sure one'll be near enough to file out.
Or file out the bore on the knob itself.
Ha!
I said knob.
