Removing gear knob

[skoota]

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

good old elbow grease should do the trick

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

omfg - ANTI - clockwise?!?!?!? All that hard work for nothing... :evil: :cry:

[Civic Type R]

ummm you tighten things clockwise - just like a water tap :twisted:

[skoota]

yeah i know when i was told otherwise i was thinking - isn't it righty-tighty??? Anyways, all fixed and done - why do i doubt myself and listen to thers? Anyway lock this thread up or delete it and throw it away.
