In today's video, you will see how to dismantle the gear knob of an Opel Zafira B. First, get inside the cabin and equip yourself with plastic levers to remove the gear gaiter frame by leveraging on the sides: then unclip the frame and pull upwards.

At this point, use a screwdriver to detach the plastic retaining ring and then pull off the gear knob by applying force and pushing upwards; be careful of the spring underneath and then refit the new knob before replacing the gaiter!
