[CU2] 6MT Gear nobe removal. How?

[PNR888]

Hi, has anyone done it? If so, please let me know how. Thanks

I tried to dis-engage the boot from the nobe by pulling the boot downward first (as in CL9), but no luck.
I also tried to rotate the gear nobe in anti-clockwise direction with considerable amount of force, no luck either. :(

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

You were right by pulling the plastic cap underneath the ball of the stick. you have to pull it hard and then it will unclip then start unscrewing the nob anti clockwise, it takes a while. and its stiff for a few rotations LOL.

if u want to remove the leather boot just pull it up firmly and it will unclip.

Hi Lochstar, Thanks for the reply. Can I just confirm with you that you can undo CU2's gear nobe the same way as the CL9's?? or the method you describe is for CL9's only?

I've just tried again after reading your post, the thing still wont unclip, and I was afraid that I would tear the boot vinyl apart or broke anything plastic within.

Thanks

ummm unsure about CU2's sorry,

I know it was a pretty strong clip to undo and i was hesitant but in the end i just thought ".. alright thats it" and i pulled hard and it unclipped.

Have you successfully removed your stock gear nobe?

hey there

i got my fd2 knob installed. removing the knob isnt actually that hard. you have just got to yank the collar downwards with enough pressure. If it doesnt clip off your pulling too weak, you need to be firm with it. The hardest part was affixing the boot to my new knob as they dont match up. I've removed the stock collar and just used some 3m tape to affix it. I didnt choose to add the fd2 collar as it "stands up" too much. I like it too look stubby. Will finish it up and upload some pics on the weekend.
