stock knob pulls straight up.
but if your username is any indication of your ride, you may have an aftermarket. that being the case, check around the base of the knob (you may have to remove the boot--do this by squeezing a side in and lifting) for a hex securing screw. | | | | | 03-31-2005, 02:54 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Colyumbia S.C.
