Yeah so I bought this Accord Type R gearknob of Tanghy - look's gr8 but i cannot get the bloody stock one off!! It's for a manual EK Civic - and I've used all sorts of tools to get it off and ripped it to shit in the process - am i doing it right. Clockwise yeh???? There has got to be a better way! :x

Turn the gear knob anti-clockwise. At least that's how it is in my Civic EK.
