Re: Fiat Scudo 2000 gear Knob

It is a bit of a wrestling match. 
One which I have won myself, but still came away with a black eye!

It fits onto a square ended shaft with deep threads/grooves only at the corners.  I think it was originally designed to have the knob pushed down while rotated at a 45deg angle and then rotated back to 0 deg to lock it.

People have described their own method to be anything from turning to various angles and pulling, unscrewing, and simple brute force.  The most consistent aspect being a very strong, upward pull. 

Keep your head out of the way while pulling. 
When it goes, there is no warning.

I am tempted to quote Mr Haynes :- "reassembly is the reverse of disassembly"  but I never managed to find a replacement that fitted well.

2000 eh?
Why are you asking this in the "Mk3 Vans | 2016 - Present"  Forum?

I bought mine from Citroen themselves! Couldn't believe they still sell them

Step 1: Unclip the gator from the dash and invert it.You'll see a little cable tie holding the gator to the bottom of the gear knob

Step 2: With that off, flip the gator back round and retract it to the base

Step 3:  Pull the gear knob off the end. Destroy it if you want to. You'll be met with either a plastic cover (like mine) or a square metal one like OAT says

Step 4: Line it up straight and push your new one on the splines

Step 5: Cable tie the gator and reassemble
