red astra Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi Guys, anybody know how to remove the gearknob on the astra 1.3cdti mk5 H estate to replace the gaiter. Every forum says you cant. They all say the gaiter slides over the knob. It looks rather tight for that. If anyone knows or has replaced can you tell me how to do it? ty in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi...welcome to the Forum I'm not entirely sure but some of the gaiters available on ebay look as though they could slip over the gear knob but as is the case of a lot of other make vehicles, the gearknob will knock off if you hold it firmly and bash the underside of your hand in an upwards motion which frees it off. Mind you haven't got your face directly overhead though...tends to hurt when it lets go. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
