How the hell do i get the bloody stock shift knob off? i got the plastic framing and boot off but the little **** just won't budge, what am i missing? go easy on the flaming, just help a guy out.....

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

i heard vise grips and a towel to protect the knob work well and some elbow grease

Dude, you gotta just keep twisting, pulling, and cussing. It took me forever to get mine off. Just keep going at it, its stuck on there like a mofugger. Get yourself a good pair of vice grips and pull.

[MojoMan]

the easiest way is to twist counter clockwise and pull the $h!t out of it.

i took one of those plumbing tools that will grip itself on to a pipe and then just pushed the hell out of it.. it ripped the rubber of my shifter but it sure as hell got that thing out in 10 minutes... I got a new shifter anyways... so I didn't care if i ruined that one!

BigJohn you know one of my best mechcanical secrets!!! Curse at that mother fu.cker as much as you can. Then if it still doesnt come out cuss more and get more vulgar if you can. That should do the trick man.

[Redline240]

Well it's good to know that everyone else had the problem, but i wanted to check before i broke something.....so just twist and pull the **** outta it hey? alright....

[b240]

The most powerful tool is one of degradation.Who said that the car was an inanimate object?Just make sure you apologize and wash her when your done.

[Get240DiZzY]

All I had to do was unscrew it.

[specialkonrd]

dudetook me and my dad, a towel, and a 2 vice grips to get it off

[b240]

to get what off? To get him off? Or to get you off? Or both?

insest is the best ay?

[stretch240sx]

i just used some vice grips... towel.... and los (i mean LOTS) of cursing at it and making fun of its mother:pface

yeah cursing is the best way to get sheet done.

[b240]

if you didnt degrage it , it would actually have a self-esteem. Now we dont want our cars having self-esteems do we?

[stretch240sx]

yeah we dont want our cars getting high and mighty... gotta show em whos boss...

Try driving it around for a while to heat it up. The bond seems to be weaker when it's warm. Then, I used an oil filter remover (the kind that has an adjustable rubber strap) to twist it off. You really just need to get mechanical advantage/leverage on the S.O.B. and twist like it's your job!

If she knew that she was better than I.......

my life would be over.

[wingzero]

smack that b1tch around and show her who wears the pants around here......then just be like, "hey, you go make me some pie, or knit me a sweater biatch! RESPECT my AUTHORITAH!"

[luis240sx]

You just need a little muscle........ twist the hell out of it like it owes you money

[stretch240sx]

the idea of running it a little is a good idea cause they have thread lock on it so it will weaken the trhead look a little...

[BuudWeizErr]

Wow, all this talk makes me want to go thank the guy I bought my car from. My car had a Momo shift knob on it when I bought it.
