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 ??? |

Every crush sleeve knob I've ever encountered came off with a bit of muscle.
I don't like the idea of using a hammer here. |

QUOTE(Larmo63 @ Feb 11 2016, 06:33 AM)  Every crush sleeve knob I've ever encountered came off with a bit of muscle. I don't like the idea of using a hammer here. Lawrence, I never liked the risk of wanking around & possibly damaging the shift linkage - being the clutz I can be! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So I've used that scrap piece of 4 - 8" soft wood pine 1x3 or 1x4 with the "U" notch to go around the shift lever shaft under the knob - then gently tapping up on the wood until the knob works it's way up. I found that also tended to bring the knob up evenly. Also, over time as the end of the shift shaft wears, & it does get easier to get them off by hand - while the last time I did mine was in the late `70's when it was fairly new & tight on there.
