gazhull8474 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Am i being a KNOB myself trying to change one as i cant seem to get my old one off. I have tried the guide on here but doesnt seem to work mine is an import not sure if this makes a difference on the mounting off it. I bought the new nismo one of muddy but cant get the old one off. Any help would be very grateful before the whole car gets wrecked in a moment of madness lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 My guess would be a previous owner had the knob off before and has threadlocked itback on . Take the surround off so you can get dime mole grips or alike directly to the base of the shaft to hold it and probably a helper to undo the knob .

rich5259 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 the 1st 2 or 3 turns are usually really tight, after that it should be easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
