Gear knob disassembly instructions

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Gear Shift Knob

The disassembly of the gear lever knob is absolutely simple to carry out since the knob (complete with control rod) is pressed into its seat, without any fastening stops; therefore move the lever to the central position, grasp the knob and pull upwards to be able to extract it complete with the control lever, avoiding jerking but trying to maintain a constant traction force; to be able to reassemble it, proceed in the reverse order, i.e. press the knob downwards with constant pressure until it locks into place, avoiding beating on it.
