Removing the Gear Knob on an Opel Corsa

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Shift knob

Remove the gear knob from an Opel Corsa. Replace the knob if damaged along with the cover gaiter. Unlock the gaiter frame and lift it upwards. Disconnect the plastics around the knob, turning it left and right until you can remove it from the gear lever. Fit the new leather gaiter with the clips (if removed), then take the new knob and slide it onto the lever in the centre console until it is secured. Finally, test the movement of the lever in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly fitted. At the end of the test, secure the gaiter covering the gear lever.

After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing.
