I want to replace my gear knob, how to remove it?

Post by J.J. » 15 Oct 2014 08:49 pm

Hi guys,

I've recently bought 1988 Volvo 360, a pretty cool one although the gear knob looks like something has been chewing on it so I'd like to replace it but I'm not sure on how to remove it, I wasn't sure if it's just on a thread but I didn't want to try and twist it and break it and have no knob at all. :lol:

So yeah, any help on how to pull my knob off would be great.

Thanks.

Jake.

Haha, ok I'll give that a go, what about putting the new one on as I'll probable change it for something a bit better looking than the standard option.

Thanks.

Hi mate.
Just give your knob a few tugs and it will come off.
