Animal brute force strength (usually just pops off) for the gear knob dude. its just a push fit on splines. so dont try and twist it.

Correct fitment 300 bosses are rare dude. and expensive. so cant help you there. I run a dished suede wheel with a pug 205 boss modified by Filthyjohn industrail fabrications inc (uk div). works perfect. But took a bit of fab though.
