Removing the gaiter from the Fiat 500? Remove the knob to change the damaged gaiter. Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic cover on the knob, then unscrew the gear knob with a socket or spanner.

Remove the leather gaiter from the edge of the centre tunnel using a plastic lever. Take the new gaiter and fit it onto the rod present on the centre tunnel, then fit the new knob and screw it in with the spanner.

Once the gaiter and knob are fitted, install the plate with the gear numbers. Test the fitting of the plastics.
