Posts: 11 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | ![]() Seen a few posts on this matter, some say twist and others say pull. No matter what I do, it just doesn't come off.. Anyone ever had that problem when it was really really tight? And how did you fix it ? Is it possible someone's super glued it down cause it really won't come off. Anyone got any clues on what I can do? Thank you.

On such an old car it may well be a replacement.. thats been glued in place My nephews 16v had obviously had it removed to change the gaiter.. now it came off on most 2nd and 4th selections ![]() I used Epoxy.. : SOLID ![]() you may want to cut the knob down the sides and SPLIT it... if you have a replacement
