Removal of gear knob R50

[Alastair]

Hi I have a R50 Cooper and wanting to renew the gaiters how do I remove the gear knob ?

Put it in 2nd or 4th and pull hard. Easier to do sitting in the back.

Don't hit yourself in the face with it!

When I did mine in GP1499 I put it in second, straddled the handbrake,with my back facing the rear of the car, put on my old motorbike helmet and gripped the old gearknob with all the strength I had.
The old gearknob then popped of as easy as you like.

Oh, how I laughed.
