How to Remove the Gear Knob on an Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Shift knob

Here’s how to remove the gear knob on an Opel Astra. Start by disconnecting the leather gaiter frame using a plastic lever. Grasp the knob and twist it left and right until it comes off the gear stick (cut the plastic securing clip). To install the new knob, slide it onto the stick in the centre console and secure it; fit the new leather gaiter with the clips. Finally, test the movement of the stick in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly mounted.
