Do you want to change the gear knob on your Opel Astra? Follow these steps. Use a plastic lever to detach the leather gaiter frame (disconnect any power clips), then grip the knob and rotate it left and right until you remove it from the gear stick (release the clamp).

To install the new knob: take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console; tighten the new knob until fully threaded. Position the new leather gaiter with the clips securing the frame.

Test the correct installation of the knob by moving the stick in the centre console.
