Is the gear knob damaged? Let's see how to change the gear knob on a Citroen C5. Use a plastic lever to detach the leather gaiter frame (if it needs replacing). Take the knob in your hands and rotate it left and right until it comes off the gear stick (pull it upwards).

Install the frame under the new leather gaiter with the clips (if removed). Lower the cover over the lever until the frame clicks into the centre console.

Take the new knob and push it onto the stick present in the centre console until it is secured. Check that the knob is correctly installed with the gaiter.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
