being one handed -i cant get the daam shift knob off, ive used a leather belt for added torque but the daam thing broke the belt no joke my wife is gonna be pissed. any other ideas folks?????? im feeling pretty weak right now and ive got twice the strength i used to have in my laft hand -- i dont want to resort to the dremel..pls help

 

Get someone else to try, cause after a few times messing with it, i twisted mine off, it was a bitch, but i got it, you may not be that patient. so get someone else to give it a shot

 

thanx ill keep trying....maybe ill just "will" it off lol i gotta go buy my wife a new belt 'fore the wife gets home thanx for advise anymore advise ??

 

I wrapped the knob with a towel and then used a pair of vice grips just tight enough so they wouldn't slip. I also covered the jaws with some electrician's tape. It came off after a little effort and no damage to the knob. The vice grips will give you more leverage.

 

same thing i did.....which shift knob are you trying to get off the wood one or the leather one??....i know the wood one had little hex screws in it that need to be loosened first

 

Just curious why your taking it iff? If your changing it why do you car if it get fucked up?

 

.......helpful tip: try rubber. wrap thick (or wide?) rubber bands around it and try as hard as you can. that should do it. hope that helps bro
