370Z Nismo - Gear Knob

[SiriusProjects]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know how to remove the factory gear knob from a 370z Nismo?

 

I've tried just using my hands and even tried using a strap wrench but I can't get it to budge.

 

Ideally I'd like to avoid using anything that will damage it, but I'm out of ideas.

 

Any suggestions?

I have used a breaker bar in the past to remove mine on my 350z and also on my 370z. they are generally really tight, although some people have removed them really easily. Brute force is usually the way i am afraid.

Yep... not done on my Nis but did my GT. Don't expect it to come off in any condition to either refit or sell on..... you'll be extremely lucky if it's still okay. As Andy says - brute force!

Brute force is what I had to use on my 2016 Nismo when I swapped it out. Used a breaker bar too on mine. Be careful not to damage the shaft.
