Replacing the damaged gear knob on a Ford Focus, here’s how to remove it. Disconnect the leather gaiter from the knob, hold the knob in your hands and rotate it to the left until you remove it from the gear lever (unscrew the knob). For installation, take the new knob and slide it onto the lever in the centre console, screw it on until secure.

Refit the leather gaiter under the new knob. Finally, test the movement of the lever in the centre console to ensure the knob is fitted correctly.

Replace the gaiter covering the lever if damaged.
