Using a plastic lever, pry at the base of the gear lever, slowly lifting a small part of the lower trim at a time. Ensure that the gaiter is not caught.

At this point, you just need to pull with a bit of force, and gently twist, to literally detach the knob along with the gaiter. Unscrew the visible part of the knob.

Turn everything inside out like a sock, and using a screwdriver, detach the knob's pin from the gaiter. Insert the new pin, straighten the gaiter + knob assembly, and screw on the new upper part of the knob.

At this point, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to make the warning light disappear.
