#1: How do you remove the gear stick? Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:49 pm ---- There is a GTI gear knob on a car at the scrappers which i can not get off for the life in me. I think it may have been glued on. how easy is it just to take the whole stick itself?
also while I am at it how do I remove the glovebox lid? I am taking the full interior out of the car

Never taken glovebox lid off, but I've definitely read how to do it on here several times.

I had to have my lip stitched lol
Glove box you undo the troxs on hinge and then unhook them and the bar thing (unsure what the bar bits called)

its not coming off both me and my mate have tried. it won't twist eather. i am aware how to get one off as i took mine off. this will seriously not budge and i can use maximum force as there is no gearbox in the car so i can move it in any direction i want

If it still hasnt worked for you mate, if u just wanna remove the gear knob. Secure it at the lowest point, then use some big pliers around the bottom of the gear knob and just hammer the pliers, the whole knob should slide off the pole, including the white plastic bit inside! Thats how i did mine!

Depends on what you wanna do, if u just want the knob off, u can do it from inside the car, just some big pliers (cant remember what they called) around the bottom of the gearknob, and smash the pliers with the hammer and itll slide off, this is actually the best way, because a lot of people twist and turn it, and then they end up breaking the white plastic bit.
