Loyd Pendley 1 #1 Posted July 11, 2016 Does the shifter knob unscrew or is it pressed on ? I'm replacing the dust boot and the knob is stuck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert 760 #3 Posted July 11, 2016 I believe it should unscrew, I've never seen one pressed on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,805 #8 Posted July 11, 2016 If it is stuck, I wrap an old piece of a leather belt around it and use a big pair of channel lock pliers. The leather will grip without the teeth of the pliers digging into the plastic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,015 #9 Posted July 11, 2016 Two small pipe wrenches should be used, one on the shaft and one, with a piece of leather as Bob suggested, on the knob. Pull the wrenches toward each other so you don't damage the shift lever or transmission. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #10 Posted July 11, 2016 I keep scraps of old inner tube around for the same thing... wrap it up, clamp it down in a pipe wrench with a cheater if necessary! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Buck 246 #11 Posted July 11, 2016 I would suggest removing the shift lever from the transmission then clamping the shift lever in a bench vise with brass jaws to prevent scarring first. Then attempt removal of said knob as described by others. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
