Below we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the knob and cover of the gear lever of the Volvo V50.

At this point, we detach the ring and the sealing clip located under the gear knob, pulling it forcefully upwards to detach and remove it; we replace all the components with new original ones, respecting the reassembly order.
