How to Remove the Gear Knob from a Chevrolet Cruze

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Shift knob

Do you want to replace the gear knob on your Chevrolet Cruze? Let's see how to proceed. Use a plastic lever to detach the leather gaiter frame (if you need to replace it); unscrew the knob until it is removed from the gear lever. For reassembly, take the new knob and slide it onto the lever in the centre console, tightening it onto the lever (position the ring with the numbers horizontally); fit the new leather gaiter with the clips (if previously removed). Finally, test the correct installation of the knob by moving the lever on the centre console.
