Gear knob removal

Post by nikko500 »

Read some posts to get tips to remove gear knob but none seem to work.
The top metallic ball seems to be separate to the black plastic base do they come off separately?
It twists but does not come off!

Sorry for my english...but

Its quite simple.


When u move out this leather sack with frame just take jack from your trunk and put it into hole under sack. Engage first gear.....legwork upper side of jack to black plastic under knob and just....use jack. I did it last week. It took me maybe 5 min.
U must remove all black plastic with knob....not only knob


Good luck and dont worry...its easy :)
No replacement for displacement :)

On my hatch back you have to twist through 90 degrees then pull up. Not tried on CC ...

Trust to be sure I understood properly: I should use the wheel jack to remove the gear knob? Has anyone else tried it?
I'm sorry, but I also have a very scratched knob and I'm not succeeding at removing the gear knob...
