How do you replace the gear knob of the Citroën Xsara Picasso?

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Shift knob

In order to replace the gear knob of the Citroën Xsara Picasso, you need to pry it off with an object so that you can detach the hooks located at the bottom of the leather cover that wraps the lever. Once this is lifted, you can remove the hook that connects it to the knob, so that the latter can be detached from its lever along with the boot. After these two components have been removed, you can insert the new boot around the lever and then the knob, securing it properly and ensuring that everything works correctly.
