i enquired about a new gaitor on my stilo as the original had torn. was about £25 and would be easy to fit (if your confident enought to dismantle the plastic around it!)

i had to saw, hack, burn, hammer my knob off, angle grinder helped a lot.

hard as hell

Gaiter is easy enough and I had to do that very early on with mine as fumes were coming in. A zip up the side so no need to remove the gearknob

Gear knob removal though needs a strong puller like this but i'm sure you could make up something similar

I had to do a simular thing, then had to cut all the rubber of my old one and make the metal sleave fit in my new gear knob

Big Black Stilo · 06-03-2009

your knob had a rubber on it?
