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 ??? |

Another vote here for the slotted board trick. The previous owner glued the knob onto one of my cars. There was no way it would pry off.
I cut a U-shaped slot the width of the shift lever, about an inch or two long, into the end of a short board. That way, you can wack it good from the bottom with a hammer and not damage anything The crush washer looks like a little corrugated metal cylinder. |
