Astra 4 - remove/replace gearknob

Hello All,

Any one know how to do this - save me wrecking the gear stick?

If memory serves me right you have to cut them off - not as big a problem as
it sounds. The knobs are plastic/leather/rubber and the lever is metal so
you soon know if you are cutting the wrong bit.

 

NO! Don't cut anything!!!!!!!

I have done this job.......Brute force is all you need. Honestly.

The knob is BONDED on to the shaft. Twist in any direction and it will come
free. It leaves the lift reverse in place.

Ta for the advice - I'll have a go at the twist and pull method!!! Make a
change that.

Do you know if its the same on the Corsa C ?

 

Sorry can't help with the corsa.

VX dealer may know and may allow you a peek at the parts screen to confirm

Thanks anyway

 

Just changed the gear knob - it was exactly as you said - twist to old one
off and push on the new one - good advice - ta for that.
