I read a post on Pelican where you put a open end wrench underneath it and hit it upwards with a hammer............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Is this really the way ? And if so does it wreck the compression fitting or is it reusable ? I bought a NOS leather with Porsche logo knob that I would like to replace it with, just find it hard to believe that you smack up on it to come off then smack down on it to go on ??? |

Does that knob have small threaded holes near the base for a couple of set screws? They never seem to hold. Does the knob slip on tight or kind of sloppy? I have a shift lever that the po used epoxy or the like to keep the knob in place. Almost a good idea except the knob can not be removed and thus if one ever wanted to replace the bushings that cradle the lever ball or any other service to the shifter assem it's impossible. You can't even remove the rubber boot. Same if the lever has worn excessively at the detent plate contact point. The leather covered knob is now garbage.
